Sowmere

On a little island in a still mere, a gardener is sowing the last beds of the season.

Walk the paths and push the round seed pods onto the soil beds. You can push one pod at a time and never pull. The twist: a pod takes root the moment it touches a bed. It grows into a sapling that never moves again and blocks your path like a hedge, and a pod can never roll across a bed to reach the one behind it. Plant the near bed first and the far one may be out of reach for good, so every garden is a question of order. A garden takes one to five minutes.

• 30 gardens, from a straight furrow to walled plots with four pods, all drawn by hand or hand-picked
• Every garden is proven: an exact solver finishes each one before you see it and finds the fewest moves possible, the par
• Daily garden: a fresh garden every day, the same for everyone
• Three stars for matching par, unlimited undo, restart, three solver hints per garden, and a warning when a pod can no longer reach any bed
• A calm low-poly diorama: hedges, lily pads, drifting petals, saplings that sprout with a bounce, soft synthesised sound and garden birds
• Keyboard on desktop; swipe, tap or an on-screen pad on phones; no download, no account; progress is saved in your browser
