Understitch: Thread Puzzles

Every stitch tells two stories. Understitch is a two-sided thread puzzle game built around one simple rule: every stitch passes through the fabric and sends the needle to the opposite face. Choose a hole, pull the thread, and keep both sides in mind. A move can be legal and still leave the pattern impossible to finish, so the challenge is not just finding a path. It is finding the right order. Plan before you stitch Hold a highlighted hole to preview where the needle will emerge on the opposite side. Use hints when you need them, undo one stitch at a time, or hold Undo to rewind to the last viable choice. 48 handcrafted puzzles Explore six themed collections with Introductory, Relaxed, Tricky, and Master puzzles ranging from quick approachable routes to deeper multi-step challenges. Every pattern has two independently authored embroidery designs to reveal, one on each side. Reveal both stories Finish a pattern to uncover the completed Front and Reverse artwork.
