Quarterlight makes quiet, beautiful puzzles — one a night, free to play, right in your browser. No apps, no noise. Just a clear patch of sky to think under.
Free · no sign-up · a new one every night
Now playing
Each one a single, self-contained idea — a word, a hunch, a line, a light. New every night.
Change one letter at a time and climb from the horizon word up to the zenith. Fewer rungs is better.
One star is hidden. Six taps to find it — each reveals which way it lies and how near you've come.
Join every pair of stars with threads that never cross, until the whole sky is filled with light.
Your light orbits a star. Reverse to gather the warm motes, shun the grey, and chase a clean streak.
More worlds are drifting in — new games join the sky as they're ready.
Every night you finish lights a star in a sky of your own — your streak, and everything you've gathered, kept.
A single fresh puzzle each evening — generated, never repeated. Come back tomorrow for the next.
No app to install, no account to make. Open the page and it's there, on any device.
No timers shouting, no ads flashing. Restraint is the whole point — a few quiet minutes, then done.
Why "Quarterlight"
A quarterlight is the little triangular window you crack for air. Ours opens onto the night sky — a few unhurried minutes before the day closes.
One puzzle a night. No ads, no timers shouting, no tricks to keep you scrolling. You finish, and you're done until tomorrow. That restraint is the whole point — and the hardest part to get right.
Made by hand, at night, under the southern sky.
The nightly note
A short letter each evening when the new games land — plus the occasional word from the studio. No spam, unsubscribe any time.

Quarterlight is made by one person, at night. A small tip keeps it free and ad-free for everyone.
