Place candles to illuminate every dark corner of a room. Simple to learn. Deeply satisfying to solve.
Candlewise is an Akari (also called Light-Up) logic puzzle. One goal, one rule, three things to know.
Tap any empty cell to place a candle. Light shines along its entire row and column until it meets a wall.
Every empty cell must be illuminated to solve the room. Numbers on dark walls tell you exactly how many candles belong beside them.
That is the only constraint. Simple to learn. Endlessly satisfying to solve.
Five chapters across five grid sizes, from cosy 5×5 cottages to grand 13×13 observatories. Every puzzle has a single unique solution, verified by solver.
Candlewise is a thinking game. There is no fail state, no countdown, no streak to break. Take as long as you need.
Free to download. The first chapter is yours. Unlock everything with a single payment. No subscription, no upsells, no consumables, ever.
50-step undo stack. Stuck? Three hints per room, free always. Your progress saves automatically on every move.
Difficulty scales with the grid, not with hidden mechanics. Every room can be solved with pure logic.
