Don’t expect an easy time when playing the new puzzler Mastermind Logic.

The challenging game is inspired by the classic code-breaking Mastermind board game. But there’s a twist compared to the original.

Instead of guessing one row at a time, you’re given a set of predefined rows. Each row provides clues that show how many tiles are placed correctly or misplaced. You’ll need to determine the correct placement of the tiles in a single attempt.

To help, you can mark tiles and exclude colors to track your progress.

There are 360 levels to try spread across three different difficulty modes. With Game Center integration, the game features leaderboards, achievements, and progress sync across all of your devices.

After a long day, the new game Catagrams offers a perfect way to sit back and relax.

As you might guess from the name, the game combines feline friends with word-building fun.

The game features a variety of cats, and as you solve more puzzles, you’ll unlock accessories for them.

The puzzles revolve around threading words together. Each puzzle starts with letters scattered across the board. The letters have a thread color on the side, top, or both, and your goal is to connect matching thread colors to form words.

Building words feels similar to solving a crossword puzzle, but with a unique twist: you can create alternate word solutions as long as all the threads connect correctly.

For added customization, you can choose the number of words in each puzzle and set a maximum letter length. You can also opt for more challenging words. Adjusting these settings affects how many points you earn to unlock accessories.

Your Apple Watch captures a significant amount of health data like heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen, and much more. Cardiobot helps you make better sense of all that data.

Your phone rings—yet another call from an unknown number. Maybe it’s a robocall, a phishing attempt, or someone pretending to be your bank. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

In 2023, Americans lost over $10 billion to phone scams, according to the FTC. With this alarming rise in fraudulent calls, Surfshark’s Alternative Number is becoming a crucial tool to protect your privacy and keep your phone number safe from prying eyes.

Why Your Phone Number is a Target

Scammers employ tactics like fake delivery alerts, phishing texts, and social engineering tricks to gain access to your information. On average, victims of these schemes lose around $577. To make matters worse, AI-driven robocalls are complicating the detection of fraudulent calls, even with various spam-blocking tools on the market.

Think about it—how often do you share your phone number when signing up for online services, social media accounts, or e-commerce sites? Your phone number has become a digital key to your personal information, and once exposed, you’re vulnerable to a constant stream of spam calls and scams.

Changing your number isn’t a quick fix either. It’s tied to countless accounts and services, and switching it can disrupt both your personal and professional life.

  • Safer Online Shopping: Use it for account sign-ups and purchases without exposing your real number.
  • Separate Work and Personal Life: Manage business communications without mixing them with personal contacts.
  • Travel-Friendly: Stay connected abroad without worrying about roaming fees or SIM swaps.

Why Surfshark Stands Out

With plenty of virtual number services available, what makes Surfshark’s Alternative Number the top choice?

  • Transparent Pricing: No hidden fees or unexpected charges.

  • Enhanced Security Features: Advanced privacy protection tools keep your data secure.

  • Integrated with Surfshark’s Ecosystem: Works seamlessly with other Surfshark products like their VPN, Alternative ID, and more.

  • Global Availability and Support: Reliable customer service, no matter where you are.
