How it works

Three steps, and you are in the club.

1

Pick a puzzle

Logic with the Cat, numbers with the Otter, words with the Fox. Each one teaches itself in a few taps.

2

Solve today’s Daily

One fresh puzzle in each game, the same for everyone. See how your day went, and keep your streak growing.

3

Play on, at your pace

1,000 practice levels in every game, from gentle to tricky, with more on the way, and friends to challenge on the same puzzle.

A Nap Spots Daily: one cat for every row, column and color
The Daily

One puzzle a day, the same for everyone

  • Solve it in your own time; your streak grows with every day you play.
  • Miss a day? A streak freeze keeps it going.
  • See how your day went beside everyone else’s, and send a paw for a good solve.
  • Share your result, and challenge a friend to beat it on the same puzzle.
Something for every mood

Logic, numbers or words: pick what you feel like

Each game is a little world of its own. Guess a five-letter word with the Fox, find every cat a sunny nap spot, or tidy a number grid with the Otter. Every one starts gentle, and teaches itself as you go.

Why Pawzel

A puzzle club that is kind to your time.

Calm, not frantic

No flashing, no pressure. Levels are practice: take your time, or pick up where you left off.

Fair to everyone

Every puzzle has exactly one answer, and every Daily is checked on our server, so the leaderboards are honest.

Free, nothing to buy

No in-app purchases. Everything in Pawzel is earned by playing, never bought.

Ready when you are

On your phone, games keep working offline once they are downloaded.

Free, with fair ads

Ads keep every puzzle free. Here is exactly how we keep them kind.

Never mid-puzzle

Full-screen ads only come between games, when you move on. Never while you are solving.

Never around the Daily

No full-screen ad before, during or after your Daily.

Capped

Full-screen ads are capped each day and spaced well apart, so they never pile up.

Never on arrival

Not when you open Pawzel, and not on your first visit from a friend’s link.

One small banner

Under each puzzle, with room above it so it never gets in the way of a tap.

Videos only if you choose

Watch one for stitches when you want to. Never forced.

Quiet days

Pause full-screen ads, the banner, or both, a day at a time, with stitches you earned by playing. Videos stay, because they are always your choice.

Your choice on data

Where the law asks, we ask before any personal ads. Say no and you still play everything.

How do challenges work?

Send a friend a link to the same puzzle. You each play it once, and Pawzel shows who did better. Friendly ones are open to everyone; more open up as you play.

Can I play offline?

On your phone, yes: once a game is downloaded it works anywhere. Leaderboards and challenges need a connection.

Is it for kids?

The puzzles suit every age, but with its ads and leaderboards, the app is meant for players aged 13 and over.
