Turnstone
Turnstone is a daily color-logic puzzle where each drop rotates that column's stones around a colour wheel and you must clear the board in as few drops as possible before the next daily puzzle.
Play TurnstoneA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Turnstone is a daily and endless puzzle about colours and chain reactions. In the daily puzzle you tap a column to drop a stone; before it lands every stone already in that column advances one step around a fixed colour wheel. Three or more stones of the same colour in a straight line pop, stones above fall, and further pops can follow. Clear the board in as few drops as you can to hit par and earn stars.
Endless mode uses similar mechanics but requires four or more in a line to pop and adds a rising-row timer and score combo system. The clock starts on your first drop, a new row rises periodically and speeds up as you play, and consecutive-drop pops build a combo multiplier up to ×5. A line longer than four grants an extra bonus.

How to play Turnstone
- In Turnstone, tap or click a column to drop the next stone into it.
- Before that stone lands, every stone already in the chosen column advances one step around the colour wheel.
- When three or more stones of the same colour line up horizontally, vertically or diagonally they pop, causing stones above to fall and potentially trigger more pops.
- In Daily play clear every stone off the board in as few drops as possible; par is the minimum drops and clearing at par gives three stars.
- In Endless play you need four or more in a line to pop, the clock starts on your first drop, rows periodically rise, and combos from consecutive-drop pops multiply your points.
Tips for Turnstone
- Watch the hover preview with a mouse or mentally rotate the column to see what colours will line up after the turn.
- Prioritise moves that set up cascading pops so falling stones create new lines and reduce the total drops needed to reach par.
- In Endless mode focus on creating consecutive-drop lines to build your combo multiplier toward the ×5 cap.
- Avoid filling columns that cannot be cleared by nearby potential pops; sometimes a seemingly safe drop will block necessary falls.
- Use the keyboard keys 1 to 7 or arrow keys plus Enter for faster, repeatable input once you recognise promising columns.
