The bit nobody else does
Make a puzzle. Stump your friends.
Building a good puzzle by hand is fiendishly hard: one wrong colour and it has two answers, or none. Crown Maker checks your work as you go, so every puzzle you share is one your friends can actually solve.
Paint
Pick a board from 5×5 to 10×10 and brush on your colour regions. Stuck for ideas? Hit Surprise me.
Check
Crown Maker solves your puzzle as you paint and tells you the moment it has exactly one answer.
Share
Send it as a short code or a link. Your friend taps it and lands straight on your puzzle.
Built for people who love a clean solve
Never run out
A fresh puzzle every time you tap Play, at six board sizes. No daily ration, no waiting until tomorrow.
Always fair
Every generated puzzle has one answer you can reach by logic alone. If you ever feel like guessing, there’s a smarter move hiding.
Hints that teach
Stuck? A hint shows you the next logical step and explains why, so you get better instead of just getting unstuck.
Honest difficulty
Easy, Medium or Hard is set by the trickiest technique a puzzle needs, so the label matches the brain-ache.

Free, with ads that know their place
We hate puzzle games that interrupt you mid-thought. So we made rules for ourselves too.
- ✓ Your first five puzzles are ad-free
- ✓ Then one short ad after every third puzzle you finish
- ✓ Never in the middle of a puzzle
- ✓ Never while you’re making your own
Questions, answered
Is Crown Maker free?
Yes. It’s free to download and every puzzle is free to play. It’s supported by a short ad now and then, between puzzles.
How often will I see ads?
Your first five puzzles are completely ad-free. After that, you’ll see one ad after every third puzzle you finish. Never mid-puzzle, never while you’re making your own, and never on a puzzle a friend sent you.
I’ve played puzzles like this before. What’s different?
If you’ve enjoyed Queens-style or Star Battle puzzles, you already know the rules. Crown Maker gives you endless puzzles and lets you build and share your own.
How do I know a puzzle I make actually works?
The app solves it for you while you paint. It only lets you share once there’s exactly one answer, and it tells you how hard it is.
Do I need to sign up?
No. There are no accounts. Your progress stays on your phone and shared puzzles travel as codes.
What does Crown Maker do with my data?
Very little. We don’t collect your name, email or puzzles. Ads are served by Google, which handles some device data, and you can change your ad choices any time. The full details are in our privacy policy.
