The Trading Post used to sell twelve things: four Skyline paints and a few touches for the reading room. It now sells ninety two, and they reach every corner of the cottage. Everything in it is bought with acorns earned by playing, nothing in it changes how a puzzle plays, and nothing you have earned can be bought. Your daily puzzles, your streak, your town and your rewards are exactly as you left...

Your daily puzzles, your streak, your town and your rewards are exactly as you left them. The fix: prices you could not read After dark, the price on anything you could not yet afford was pale text on a pale butto...

On Steam you can skip the code and send it straight to a friend from the same panel, or tap Challenge on anyone's row on a leaderboard, friend or not. A new setting, on by d...
