Tinta: Color Logic Puzzle
Daily logic grid brain teaser
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: a daily puzzle and your streak, a pencil to rule out colors, hints that explain their reasoning, and 360 grids up to 7×7. Now on iPhone and iPad.
One grid of colors, one single solution, and everything can be deduced. No timer, no lives, never an ad in the middle of a grid. Just you, your logic and a pencil.
Tinta is a color deduction puzzle, a cousin of sudoku, binairo (takuzu) and nonograms. Every grid hides a secret coloring. Zero luck, zero guessing: if you're stuck, the answer is already staring at you.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Pick a color from the palette and tap a cell to fill it. Tap it again to clear it.
• Count chips tell you how many cells of a color sit in a row or column.
• The = and ≠ markers link two neighboring cells: twins, or rivals.
• The pencil rules out impossible colors, cell by cell. Eraser and undo are there when you change your mind.
• Grid full and right? You win. If something's off, we'll tell you, but not where.
THE DAILY PUZZLE
• A fresh grid every day, the same for everyone: 5×5 early in the week, 6×6 on Thursday and Friday, 4 colors on Saturday, 7×7 on Sunday.
• Play day after day to grow your streak.
• Share your result (stars, mistakes, streak) with zero spoilers.
• Missed a day? The last 14 stay playable.
• A daily reminder if you want one, at the time you choose.
360 GRIDS, FROM 4×4 TO 7×7
• All generated and verified by a logic engine: one unique solution, always reachable through pure reasoning.
• Progress through worlds: first steps in 4×4, then 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7, with 3 or 4 colors.
• Up to 3 stars per grid: no mistakes and no hints is a flawless solve.
• Every game picks up exactly where you left it.
STUCK? WE'LL EXPLAIN
• A hint doesn't just fill a cell: it shows you one and tells you why. "This row already has its 2 pink cells: this cell can't be pink."
• 3 free hints every day, plus 2 more for watching an ad, only when you ask.
• Live check fades out satisfied count chips and turns anything that breaks a rule red. It follows the rules, never the solution. Purists can switch it off.
MADE FOR CALM
• No coins, no shop, no timer, no lives.
• Ads are rare: never during a grid, never before level 20, never after the daily puzzle. And a one-time Remove Ads purchase gets rid of them for good.
• Color assist: a distinct symbol per color, so you never depend on color alone.
• On iPhone and iPad, dark mode included, playable offline.
One grid, one coffee, let logic do the talking.

Tinta 2.0 is a complete redesign.
• The daily puzzle: a new grid every day, your streak, the last 14 days replayable, and a spoiler-free result to share.
• Cells now start empty. Pick your color from the palette, rule out impossible colors with the pencil, undo whenever you like.
• Live check: a satisfied count chip fades out, a broken rule turns red. It follows the rules, never the solution.
• Hints that explain their reasoning, 3 free every day.
• 360 grids, from 4×4 to 7×7.
• Tinta comes to iPad.
• Goodbye to the Check button, coins and the shop. Stars now reward grids solved with no mistakes and no hints.
• Far fewer ads: never before level 20, never after the daily puzzle, and still never during a grid.
Your progress starts fresh with this version. Your Remove Ads purchase is kept.
