Tumble: the daily rolling-cube puzzle

How to play Tumble

Five boards a day. Roll the cube to stamp every dashed square, in as few rolls as you can.

1. Swipe, tap a square, or use the arrows: the cube tips over one edge, like a die.
2. The purple face can only go down on a dashed square, and that stamps it.
3. Stamp them all, then Lock in. Par, the fewest possible, scores 200. Each roll over costs 20. Rolls you undo or start over still count.

On some boards:

• Fence: the cube can’t tip over it.
• Turntable: spins the cube a quarter turn clockwise as it lands.
• Hole: the cube can’t roll into it.

Each board’s colour: 🟩 par or 1 over; 🟨 2 to 4 over; 🟧 5 to 7 over; 🟥 8 or more over.

Every board is made by code and its par is found by a full search, so par is always possible and never beatable. Nothing to look up: just your head for turning a cube.

New boards every day at midnight.
