Thank you for playing Hearthside! This section answers common questions and explains how each puzzle works.
Hearthside — Large-Print Puzzles offers five kinds of puzzles with many levels each:
Your progress is saved automatically on your device.
Word Cipher — Every letter has been swapped for another. Tap a coded letter, then tap the letter you think it really stands for — every matching letter fills in at once. Tap Give me a hint if you get stuck.
Dot-to-Dot — Tap the dots in order, starting at 1. A line is drawn each time you find the next number. Connect them all to reveal the picture.
Picture Logic — The numbers on each row and column tell you how many squares in a run are shaded. Tap a square once to shade it, again to mark it with an X, and again to clear it. Fill the correct squares to reveal the picture.
Winding Maze — Press on the green dot and drag your finger through the maze to the checkered flag. Slide back the way you came to undo a wrong turn. Tap Start over to reset.
Word Search — Press the first letter of a word and drag to the last letter. Words run across, down, or diagonally. Found words are crossed off the list below the grid.
Does the app collect my data? No. Hearthside does not collect, store, or share any personal data. See the Privacy Policy below for details.
Do I need an internet connection? No. All puzzles work fully offline. An internet connection is only used if you choose to tap the link to the related book on Amazon.
How is my progress saved? Completed puzzles are saved locally on your device. Deleting the app will erase this progress.
The print is still hard to read — can I make it bigger? The app is already designed for large print. You can also increase system text size in Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size on your device.
Is there a paperback version? Yes. This app is a free companion to the Hearthside Large-Print Variety Puzzles paperback series, which contains many more puzzles in each theme. You can find it on Amazon via the link on the home screen.
I found a bug or have a suggestion. We’d love to hear from you — please email the address above with a short description (and your device model and iOS version, if it’s a bug).
