Light up the grid with logic. Thousands of offline boards.
Akari (also known as Light Up) is a relaxing Japanese logic puzzle. Place light bulbs on the white squares so every white square is lit — by pure deduction, never guessing. Thousands of uniquely-solvable boards, a fresh daily challenge, and a calm, distraction-free design. What is Akari? Akari (灯, "light") is a classic Japanese logic puzzle from the makers of Sudoku, Nikoli. The rules are simple, the deductions are deep: • Place bulbs so every white square is lit. • Bulbs light their row and column until a wall blocks the light. • No two bulbs may shine on each other. • Numbered walls show how many bulbs touch them. Every puzzle in this app has exactly one solution and is solvable by logic alone — never by guessing. Features • Unlimited puzzles — thousands of generated boards, no two the same. • Four difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert. • Multiple grid sizes from 7×7 up to 11×11. • A fresh daily puzzle with a streak counter. • Full offline play — no internet, no account, no nag. • Light & dark themes that follow your system. • High-contrast mode and a colour-blind-safe palette. • Cell states distinguished by shape AND fill — accessible by design. • Smart hints when you're stuck (opt-in, never forced). • Undo / redo and an auto-save that resumes exactly where you left off. • Pinch-zoom and pan on large grids. • Localized in 32 languages with proper font support for CJK, Arabic, Hindi, Thai and more.
