Account & login
What kinds of account are there?
- Guest — play without signing up.

Who can see my email address?

I forgot my password
Use the password reset option on the sign-in screen. We will send a reset link to your registered email.
Google sign-in

Lost device & account recovery

Friends
Add friends using their handle or friend code. You can accept or decline friend requests, and remove friends at any time.
Friend Challenges
Send a challenge to a friend: you both play the same set of puzzles and compare results. Challenges may expire if they are not played in time.
Quick Match & Ranked
Quick Match and Ranked are in development and not yet playable. Help for these modes will appear here when they are released.
