Karat

Karat looks like a small combination lock in gold. The ingot is made of four rings, one for each letter of a word, and each ring has letters on all six of its facets. Turned the right way, every facet of the ingot spells a real word reading across the rings. Your job is to find that arrangement.

The game has two modes of touch. LOOK lets you rotate the whole ingot to read each facet without spending anything; TURN rotates a single ring, and each turn counts. You have 24 turns, any word form is accepted, and the result screen tells you how far you were from the fewest possible turns, with a star for a perfect solve. A new Karat comes each day, numbered and the same for everyone (the count passed 960 in October 2026), and Practice Mode offers extra puzzles in between. A history panel keeps your solved and attempted counts, your streak and how many turns over the fewest you average.

Karat is made by Auro and wraps its instructions in a playful story about 17th century alchemists and a philosopher's stone. It suits players who like spatial puzzles as much as vocabulary: you need to hold the whole ingot in your head to save turns.
