Lettermere: Painting Puzzle

Lettermere is a planning puzzle game about painting shop signs by hand. Every coat has to dry before the next one can touch it, every job has a deadline, and the puzzle is always the same: what can I paint while this dries?

Gran has left you her sign workshop, and the High Street has lost its shine. Take on jobs from the shopkeepers, paint each sign by hand, and hang it back over the door. Paint over wet enamel and it bleeds; rush the gold leaf and it tears.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Read the customer's brief: the style they want, the fee and the day it's due.
• Sand and prime the board, then paint each part with your finger.
• Watch the WET, TACKY and DRY markers and choose your next step.
• Take a tea break, or call it a day and let the coats dry overnight.
• Add the protective coat, check for defects, and hang the finished sign.
• A clean sign delivered early earns a tip and up to three stars.

WHAT'S IN THE GAME
• Nine sign jobs on one high street: florist, café, bookshop, bakery, ice cream parlour, travel agency, antiques shop, pub and art gallery.
• Five sign styles: hand painted, modern, traditional, gold leaf and vintage.
• Enamel, gold leaf, outlining, distressing and varnish, each with its own drying rules.
• Tools that change your plan: a drying fan, a bench lamp, finer brushes and more.
• Paints, lettering, ornaments and workshop decor to collect with the coins you earn.
• A Sign Book of everything you've finished, and a town that brightens as you work.
• Paint your own: design a sign with your own words, colours and ornaments.
• Biscuit the workshop cat.

MADE TO BE RELAXING
• No energy, no lives and no countdown clocks in real time. The only clock is the workshop's.
• Plays offline; ads and purchases need a connection. Your progress is saved on your device.
• No account and no sign-in.
• Text size, sound, music and vibration settings, and an optional press-and-hold painting mode.

FREE WITH ADS; OPTIONAL PREMIUM REMOVES ADS
Every job is free: all nine signs, Paint your own and the whole High Street. Sometimes an ad appears when you go back to town after delivering a sign, never in your first 10 minutes of play and at most one every 4 minutes. There are no banners. You can also choose to watch a short video ad for an hour of Double pay (twice the fee and tip on every job).
Premium is one optional purchase through Google Play: it removes the ads for good and makes Double pay permanent. It is a single payment, not a subscription, and your progress is kept whether or not you buy it. If you bought Lettermere before it became free, you already have Premium.

For players aged 13 and over. On first launch the game asks for your year of birth; the answer stays on your device, and you can skip it. Players under 13, and anyone who skips the question, are never shown ads. Ads come from Google AdMob; see the privacy policy for the data they use.
