Strengths

Weaknesses

- Limited customization: no theme toggles or font size options (review: 'My eyes hurt after long sessions')
- Ads appear after every 3 puzzles—frustrating for casual players (review: 'Too many ads interrupting the flow')
- No hint system beyond showing correct answers—no step-by-step guidance
- No social sharing or leaderboards—feels isolated compared to other puzzle games
Opportunities
