How it works

One grid. One chain. One puzzle a day.

Wickgrid is a daily logic deduction puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Numeric clues tell you exactly which cells to light — no guessing, no luck. Simple rules, genuinely hard puzzles.

LanternDark
A solved board. Each number counts the lit cells touching it, every lantern joins one connected chain, and no four lit cells ever form a 2×2 block.

The rules

The three rules.

  1. Numeric clues tell you what to light

    The numbers around the grid define exactly which cells must be lit. Every board is solved by deduction alone — there is always a next logical step, and never a guess.

  2. Every lit cell joins one connected chain

    All lit cells must link edge-to-edge into a single continuous chain. No islands, no disconnected clusters — if a lit group can't reach the rest, the solution is wrong.

  3. No 2×2 block of lit cells

    Anywhere four adjacent cells would all be lit at once, the puzzle breaks. This single constraint is what forces the chain to wind, and what makes late-week boards genuinely hard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Wickgrid?

A daily logic grid puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Light the correct cells using numeric clues, form one connected chain, and avoid any 2×2 block of lit cells. A new puzzle releases every day.

Is Wickgrid free to play?

Yes — the daily puzzle and your last 7 days are always free. Wickgrid Plus is a one-time $4.99 unlock for the full archive, unlimited hints, Streak Freeze, and advanced stats. No subscriptions, no ads.

How is Wickgrid different from Sudoku or Nonogram?

Sudoku is number placement. Nonogram fills a picture from row and column counts. Wickgrid has its own rule set — light cells so they form one connected chain with no 2×2 block ever lit — that rewards the same style of careful deduction with a different set of constraints.

Does Wickgrid have ads or collect data?

No. Wickgrid runs fully offline, needs no account, and collects no data, at any tier.

What platforms is Wickgrid on?

iPhone and iPad, requiring iOS 17 or later.
