Finding puzzles
- Continue — picks up your last puzzle, or starts the next one you haven't played.
- Random — drops you into a random puzzle you haven't finished yet.
- Browse — opens the full catalog. Tap any tile to play; finished puzzles show a checkmark.
Filtering the catalog
In Browse, tap Filters to narrow the list:
- Grid size — pick one or more dimensions.
- Difficulty — Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert.
- Status — show all, or only finished / unfinished.
- Sort the results, and Reset filters to clear everything.
Filters stack — ask for unfinished Hard 10×10s and play exactly those.
The Daily Puzzle
- A new puzzle every day — the same grid for everyone.
- Solve it to keep your streak going.
- Want to replay or catch one you missed? Open the calendar to play past daily puzzles.
The Weekly Challenge
- One large puzzle each week, pulled from the biggest grids in the catalog (16×16 and up).
- It's a longer sit, so your progress saves automatically. Leave and come back — your paths, moves, and timer are right where you left them.
- A new challenge replaces it each week.
Hints
- Stuck? Tap the Hint button in the puzzle controls to reveal part of the solution.
- Your first hint each day is free. Need more? Watch a short video to earn extra hints.
- Using a hint still counts your solve toward your streak.
Progress & streaks
- Every puzzle you finish is saved and marked complete.
- Your streak grows when you solve at least one puzzle a day — the Daily Puzzle, the Weekly Challenge, or any catalog puzzle all count.
- Continue and Random use your progress to keep serving puzzles you haven't done.
Settings
Open Settings from the gear icon:
- Audio — choose your gameplay music: Heavy, Atmospheric, or Off. Music can also be toggled off entirely. Mute is a real choice here, not a buried one.
- Haptics — turn the vibration feedback on connections on or off.
- Sync — turn cross-device sync on or off, and check your sync status (see below).
- Game Rules — a quick refresher on how to play.
- Show me how to play — replay the full tutorial any time.
- Load by ID — jump straight to a specific puzzle if you know its ID.
- Reset progress — clears all completions and streaks. This can't be undone.
Removing ads
- Line Forge is free to play with a light banner and the occasional full-screen ad.
- A one-time Remove Ads purchase turns those off for good.
- The optional hint videos stay even after you remove ads — so you can still earn extra hints whenever you want them.
Syncing across your devices
- With sync on, your completions, streaks, daily and weekly progress, and settings follow you between iPhone and iPad.
- A Weekly Challenge you've started on one device can be picked up on another.
- A regular catalog puzzle you're partway through stays on the device you started it on — finish it there, and the completion syncs.
- Sync uses your iCloud account: sign into the same iCloud on each device and turn on Settings → Sync.
