Cinder

Coax a hidden picture out of the dark. Every number tells you exactly how many embers must glow in the 3×3 block around it — itself included. Light and unlight cells until each clue is satisfied and the ember shape flares to life. A warm, meditative neighborhood-count logic puzzle with hints when you're stuck.

How to play

1. Tap a cell to light or unlight an ember. A number means: exactly that many cells must glow in its 3×3 block — the cell itself plus its up-to-8 neighbors.
2. Green numbers are satisfied, red numbers are still wrong. Solve when every number is green.
3. Use the 💡 hint to fix one cell, or reveal the whole ember picture if you're stuck.
