How it plays

Set the sorts. Print the lines.

  1. Set the type

    Drag a piece from the tray into the type case. Pieces don't turn, so every placement counts.

  2. Go to press

    Fill a whole row or column and it prints: the roller inks it, the stamp lands and the sheet peels away.

  3. Find the gold sort

    One gold sort turns up each day. Every line it prints scores double.

  4. Stop the presses

    The edition ends when no piece fits. Set all 60 sorts and you've made deadline.

Daily Edition

One edition a day, the same for everyone.

Each day brings a numbered Daily Edition. Everyone gets the same 60 sorts in the same order, so you can compare scores with friends and keep your streak going.

Want more? Endless deals random pieces, with no deadline and as many games as you like.

Your own front page

Every edition makes the news.

Finish an edition and the presses write you a front page, with a headline that comes from how you played. Share it as a picture, as a story, or as text.

Morning and Night editions come with every theme, or let your phone choose.

Themes

Four papers for the press.

Classic comes with the game. Sepia, Broadsheet and Gold Leaf are one-time purchases, one at a time or all three together. Buy once and keep it; every theme brings its own colors and its own sounds.

Free to play

Play every edition, free.

Free, with ads

Every Daily Edition and Endless game is free. Press Blocks is supported by ads, kept to general-audience content.

Hints are your choice

Stuck? A hint, or a second printing in Endless, comes from a short ad you choose to watch. It is always optional.

Remove Ads

A one-time purchase takes away the ads the game shows on its own. Ads you choose to watch for a hint stay available.

No account

No sign-up, no login. Pick a printer name only if you want a place on the leaderboard; every score on it is checked by replaying the game.

Made to be read

Every special block carries a clear shape, so color is never the only clue. Respects Reduce Motion.

Sound and touch

Letterpress sounds and haptics designed like real type, both optional. Daily reminders only if you ask.

The presses are almost ready.

Press Blocks is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
