Crosshue is a crossword where the clues are colours.
Short description
Every row and column of the board gets one paint pot, and where they cross the paints mix: red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green. Pinned swatches show what each square must become. Deduce every pot, by logic alone, and the print comes out perfect. Two new Dailies every day.
Long description
Crosshue is an original logic puzzle printed in a hand-made risograph style. Every row and column gets one paint pot; where lines cross, the paints mix like real paint. The pinned swatches are your clues. Work out what's in every pot and the print comes out perfect. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and you can reach it by deduction alone. No guessing.
Each world adds one new rule. First come locked pots, thinner that lightens, ink that darkens, split lines that pour two ways, and premixed pots of orange, green and purple. Then come new kinds of clue: rings that name one paint in the mix, crossed-out misprints that rule a colour out, and twin and rival pots that must match or differ. It climbs from gentle 3×3 boards to fiendish 8×8 Broadsheets. Stamp mode swaps lines for shaped rubber stamps whose inks overprint where they overlap.
Two Dailies arrive every day, the same for everyone: a print and a stamp sheet. They climb from a gentle Monday to a fiendish Sunday, with streaks, spoiler-free sharing, Game Center leaderboards and a widget for your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
Crosshue is made for everyone. A colour game should be playable without seeing colour, so it has colour-blind patterns and component labels, full VoiceOver with adjustable paint pots, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and a Night paper mode. It's free to play, with no ads and no tracking. A single Crosshue Pro purchase opens all 1,238 levels, every past Daily and unlimited hints, for the whole family.
