pinplank

The screw puzzle that only ends when you're really stuck

Unscrew the pins that have no plank on top, drop each screw into the box of its colour, and watch the wooden planks fall away. Every level is dealt so it can be won, your first undo is free, and no ad ever interrupts a level.

Pinplank level 18: wooden planks pinned by colourful screws, two colour boxes on top and holding holes below

"It forces me to watch an ad even though I could still play."

We read the 1- and 2-star reviews of one of the biggest screw puzzle games on Google Play. The same complaints kept coming up.

Game over while moves remain. The level ends the moment the holding holes fill, even when a screw on the board still fits a box. Then: watch an ad or start over.

Ads between every level. Some run 30 seconds or longer, and banners open sites you never asked for.

Side games you didn't want. Mini games and events between you and the puzzle you downloaded.

Pinplank keeps the click and drops the frustration

You only lose when you're really stuck

Full holding holes just mean you pick a screw that fits a box. The level ends only when no free screw fits any open box, and even then you can add a hole and keep going.

Every level can be solved

Boards are dealt along an order in which every screw is free when you take it, and the colour boxes arrive in that same order. There is always a way through.

The game in dark mode

Colour-blind friendly, always on

Every screw head carries its own mark: cross, bar, star, heart, diamond and more. Match by shape or by colour, nothing to switch on.

Ads that wait their turn

Never during a level, never a banner. A short ad can appear between levels now and then, and videos for coins or an extra hole only play when you tap them.

Questions

Is Pinplank free?

Yes. It's free to download and play, supported by ads. There's nothing to buy.

How many ads will I see?

None during a level and no banners. A short ad can appear between levels, at most every third break and never within a couple of minutes of the last one. Videos for coins or an extra hole only play when you tap them.

Can every level really be solved?

Yes. Each board is dealt so that some order of screws clears it without ever using a holding hole. The holes are there for when you take a different route.

Does it work offline?

Yes. No Wi-Fi or mobile data needed to play.

What data does Pinplank collect?

Your progress stays on your phone (and in your own Android backup). Ads come from Google AdMob, which uses your advertising ID, and you can change ad choices in Settings. The app has no analytics and no account. Details are on the privacy page.
