HOW IT PLAYS

The only thing I can think of to improve it is to have the number pad come up for entering the year instead of the entire keyboard. Would be quicker to enter the year.
Developer Response
Thanks. The year field does request the number pad on iPhone. If you're on an iPad or a third-party keyboard, iOS shows the full keyboard instead, and we can't override that. If you're seeing it on an iPhone, tell us which model and we'll chase it.
So Much Fun!

This is a very interesting and challenging puzzle game. It’s harder than you might expect. I keep coming back to play every day!
Developer Response
Thank you so much — "harder than you'd expect" is exactly what I'm going for, and knowing you play every day makes the solo effort worth it. Game Center leaderboards just went live if you want to compete. Thanks for playing! — Mike
See what you're up against before you start. The Play button now shows today's best score and the average for your pack, or tells you that you'd be the first to solve it.
Archive fixes: if you bought Remove Ads, past puzzles no longer show you an ad. The Catch Up card picks the pack you play most, and shared pack links open the right pack even with the archive open.
