What Zagzook is
Zagzook is a small, independent website with three things on it: free daily logic puzzles, free stories to read, and free tools for planning everyday life. There are no accounts, no sign-ups and nothing to install. Open a page and play, read or plan.
The daily puzzles
Every day at midnight US Eastern time, nine new puzzles appear. Everyone gets the same puzzles on the same day, so you can compare results with friends. Each game gives you a spoiler-free result to share.
- ZagFindFollow the clues and cross out entries until only one is left.
- ZagCalcGuess the hidden equation in six tries.
- ZagTowerPlace the towers so the edge numbers see the right count.
- Mini ZagDokuA quick 6×6 sudoku.
- ZagLionOne lion per row, column and color region, and no two may touch.
- ZagCampPitch a tent beside every tree.
- ZagSumPlace 1 to 9 so every row and column hits its target.
- ZagHiveMake words from 7 letters and find the Zagword.
- ZagLadderChange one letter at a time to climb from one word to another.
Every logic puzzle is checked before it goes on the site to make sure it has exactly one correct answer, so you can always solve it with logic, not guessing. The word games, ZagHive and ZagLadder, use common, family-friendly words only. Every ZagHive has at least one word that uses all seven letters, and every ZagLadder's par is the true fewest steps. Puzzles get a little harder through the week, and the weekends are the toughest.
The stories
The reading side of Zagzook brings original fiction, including new stories inspired by Norse, Greek and Roman myth, plus Zagzook's own books. They're free to read, one chapter per page, and the site remembers where you stopped so you can pick up where you left off.
The free tools
The Tools section has small helpers for everyday life, like the Weekly Goal Tracker. Whatever you type into a tool is saved in your own browser, on your own device, and never sent anywhere. Each tool can download a backup file, so you can keep a copy or move it to another device. More tools are on the way.
How Zagzook stays free
Zagzook is supported by advertising and affiliate links. Ads are kept to a few spots, mainly the top and bottom of pages, and are never placed inside the puzzles or tools. Some pages show product suggestions that link to Amazon; as an Amazon Associate, Zagzook earns from qualifying purchases. You can read how ads and your browser's storage are handled in the Privacy Policy.
