Crux compared with other puzzle apps
Crux is a free iPhone and iPad app from Pizzart Pte. Ltd. with a ton of daily games in one place: word games, logic puzzles, number games, geography, trivia, colour games and quick arcade rounds. It shows no ads: no banners, no video ads, no pop-ups. Crux has a No Wifi section with practice rounds you can play offline; the daily games download each day's puzzle when you are online. These pages compare it with the apps people often ask about, using facts from each app's own App Store listing (read 6 November 2026). When another app fits better, they say so.
