About Stacks
Stacks is a fresh twist on classic poker and puzzle games. Arrange cards to form the best poker hands across rows and columns. It's part strategy, part luck, and completely addictive.
How to Play
Cards are dealt one at a time. Place each card on the grid to build poker hands in rows and columns. The better your hands, the higher your score. Simple to learn, tricky to master.

Daily Puzzles
Like Wordle, Stacks has daily puzzles that are the same for everyone. The puzzle seed is based on the date, so you can compare scores with friends and see who played the same cards better.
The sharing feature makes it easy to post your results without spoiling the puzzle for others.
The Animations
I spent a lot of time on the animations in Stacks. Cards slide, flip, and settle into place with satisfying physics. When you complete a hand, there's a subtle celebration. It's the kind of polish that makes a simple game feel premium.
