Skladno is a set of word puzzles in Russian — the game is for people who know the language. A proverb with a missing word, a riddle, a proverb with an extra letter, the end of a proverb, a proverb in shuffled parts, an old word from Dahl’s dictionary: the answer is built from a row of letters or picked from four, in about a minute. The texts come from Vladimir Dahl’s “Proverbs of the Russian People”; after each puzzle you see where it comes from and what it means.

Daily puzzle

One for everyone, every day, free and without ads. Share the result as text; a missed day waits in the archive — nothing expires.

Notebooks

Themed sets — work and idleness, home and family, speech and silence, winter and holidays — solved in any order, offline. The first notebook is always free; the rest open with Skladno+.

Calm and honest

  • No timers, lives, energy or streaks.
  • Hints are free and never sold: remove extra letters, reveal a letter, show the answer.
  • Ads only between puzzles, never on the first day and never after the daily puzzle.
  • Skladno+ is a single purchase, not a subscription: no ads forever and all notebooks.
  • No sign-up: the game has no server of its own; progress stays on the phone.

Questions

Where do the puzzles come from?

From public-domain editions: Dahl’s “Proverbs of the Russian People” (2nd ed., 1879) and his “Explanatory Dictionary” (1880–1882). Every puzzle in the game names its source.

Is there an English version?

No. The puzzles are the Russian language itself — proverbs, riddles and old words — so there is nothing to translate. The game is for Russian speakers anywhere.
