Put a little world right, one clue at a time. Join Smudge the raccoon for cosy daily mysteries, clear clues and satisfying deductions.

One paragraph

Cluewood is a cosy daily logic puzzle game about putting a little world right. Join Smudge the raccoon, read the clues and work out where every piece belongs.

Longer

Each day brings one small illustrated case set somewhere in Bluegum, a small Australian town: a lost-property shelf after a bump, a café on a waiter's first day, a market stall before the bakers arrive. Read the clues, try an arrangement and follow the evidence until every piece is where it belongs. The week builds from a gentle Monday to a hard Sunday.

A guided first case teaches the rules. Hints are free and come in three steps (Focus, Explain and Show), and Comfort mode shows all the clues and checks your finished arrangement. Unfinished cases are saved, downloaded cases play offline, and you can share a result without giving away the answer.

There's no account and no sign-in, and progress stays on the iPhone. Cluewood has no gameplay analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, no advertising and no tracking. The last seven daily cases and every hint are free; Cluewood Plus adds two chapters, the full Casebook and a weekly bonus case.

Writing about Cluewood

Cluewood is one word with a capital C. The raccoon is Smudge, and the town is Bluegum. Please say "Cluewood for iPhone" rather than "the Cluewood iPhone app". Until launch, link to this site or the web version.
