Thank you for playing Çengel Bulmaca. This update brings a new puzzle every day and a friendlier way to play together.
Today's puzzle — Every day there is one new puzzle, the same for everyone. Monday starts gentle and Sunday is the toughest of the week. Solve it to earn extra EP and keep your streak, then see where you stand on today's board.
Racing, redrawn — Online races have a fresh look: a face-off before the start, a track that shows how close everyone is, and a clearer finish with a podium when more of you play. Friend rooms show who has taken a seat, and inviting someone takes one tap.
A board for this week — Next to the all-time table there is now a weekly one. It counts only the last seven days, so anyone can climb to the top.
Your face, your name — Add your own photo, and the name you choose appears everywhere in the game. Your profile now shows your online record too. If a photo ever looks wrong, press and hold it to report it.
Medals within reach — Every medal shows how close you are, and your next goals wait at the top.
Happy solving.

Thank you for playing Çengel Bulmaca. This update is about playing more, with fewer interruptions.
Fewer ads — An ad now appears once every 10 puzzles instead of every 2.
The longer you play, the more you earn — The bonus you can claim after a puzzle grows while you keep solving: twice the EP from the start, three times from your 10th puzzle in a row, then four, five and six times at 20, 40 and 80. Tap the new bonus button during a puzzle to see where you stand. A break of more than 30 minutes starts a fresh run.
A free bonus — After every three reward ads, your next bonus is free, no ad needed.
A paper that misses you — Add the new Loyalty widget to your Home Screen. Its crossword face smiles while you play, grows sad when you stay away, and finally cracks. One puzzle a day keeps it happy.
Happy solving.
2.3 Oct 27
Thank you for playing Çengel Bulmaca. This update is about puzzles you make for someone else.
Gift Puzzle — Write your own words and clues, and we turn them into a crossword. Send the link to someone you love and leave a message they will see the moment they solve it. We will let you know when they do.
Time that is yours — The clock pauses while an ad is on screen, and Fast mode now keeps time like every other mode.
A streak worth keeping — Your streak now warns you before a day slips away, you earn shields along the way that cover a missed day, and your reminder arrives around the hour you usually play.
Happy solving.

Thank you for playing Çengel Bulmaca. This update is about playing together — and about not missing it when someone is waiting for you.
Open rooms — Open a room and anyone playing in your language can see it and join with a single tap. There is no code to type or share, and you can gather up to eight players before you start.
Wait wherever you like — Open your room, then go and do something else. We will tell you the moment someone joins, when the room fills up, and when your match is about to begin.
One ranking for everyone — All players now share a single leaderboard. It no longer asks you to sign in to Game Center, so if you have been playing quietly all this time, you finally have a place in the standings.
Names and marks on the board — Players appear with their name and their own coloured mark, and the front page shows where you stand at a glance.
A word when you slip — If someone passes you in the rankings, or it has simply been a while since your last puzzle, we will say so. Quietly, and never at an unreasonable hour.
As always, thank you for every puzzle you solve and every note you send our way. Happy solving.
