The games

The games take their names from Latin.

• Quinque FREE

  KWEEN-kweh · Latin for “five”

  One five-letter word a day, six guesses, and the same word for everyone.

• Tabella FREE

  tah-BEL-lah · Latin for “a little board”

  Find words in a grid of sixteen letters — against the clock, or without one.

• Alvearium PREMIUM

  al-veh-AH-ree-um · Latin for “a beehive”

  Seven letters a day, one of them in every word. Find as many words as you can.

• Duplum PREMIUM

  DOO-plum · Latin for “the double”

  Slide the tiles; equal numbers merge and double. Reach 2048 — then keep going.

• Cautela PREMIUM

  kow-TAY-lah · Latin for “caution”

  Clear the field without touching a mine. The numbers say how many are near.

• Novem PREMIUM

  NOH-vem · Latin for “nine”

  Fill the grid so that every row, column and box holds one to nine.

• Vipera PREMIUM

  VEE-peh-rah · Latin for “viper”

  Steer the snake to its food. Every bite makes it longer, and harder to keep out of its own way.

• Captura PREMIUM

  kap-TOO-rah · Latin for “a capture”

  Mancala. Sow your seeds round the board, capture what you can, and finish with more than the house.

• Fragmen PREMIUM

  FRAHG-men · Latin for “a fragment”

  Keep the ball in play with the paddle and break every brick. Every level after the first is new, and a little tougher.

• Lecta PREMIUM

  LEK-tah · Latin for “picked out, and read”

  Find every word hidden in the grid — across and down, and on harder puzzles diagonally and backwards.

• Vicis PREMIUM

  VEE-kiss · Latin for “a turn”

  A paddle at each end and a ball between. Get it past the house, keep it from getting past you — first to seven wins.

• Moenia PREMIUM

  MOY-nee-ah · Latin for “city walls”

  Missiles are falling on your cities. Tap the sky to burst them before they land — wave after wave, each faster than the last.
