How do I play?

• Sudoku – fill every row, column and 3×3 box with 1–9. Tap a square, then a number. Turn on Notes for pencil marks.
• Mini Crossword – tap a square to type; tap it again to switch between across and down.
• Letters – make the longest word from nine tiles in 30 seconds. Nine letters scores 18. Some days the tiles hide a home word worth 10 bonus points.
• Numbers – pick a number, an operation, then another number to make a new one. Get as close to the target as you can in 30 seconds.
• Brickwork – guess the five-letter word in six tries. Gold brick: right letter, right place. Red brick: in the word, wrong place. Grey: not in the word.
• Tea Time Buster – all five against one 20-minute clock. Only puzzles finished after you start the clock count.

Common questions

When do new puzzles appear? At midnight UK time.

Can I play offline? Yes – once the day's edition has downloaded, it works without a connection.

I subscribed but things are still locked. Open Settings in the app and tap Restore purchases, making sure you're signed in with the same Apple Account you subscribed with.

How do I cancel the Tea Break Club? Settings › your name › Subscriptions on iPhone or iPad, or App Store › your name › Account Settings on a Mac.

A word I typed wasn't accepted. We use a large public word list. If you think a common word is missing, tell us and we'll look at adding it.
