Strata: how to play, rules, strategy and design notes
Swap tiles to restore the smooth color gradient. Here is how Strata works, what makes the daily puzzle fair, and why it belongs in Wittora's collection of quick thinking games.
Strata focuses on one readable core action: swap tiles to restore the smooth color gradient.
How Strata works
- Strata focuses on one readable core action: swap tiles to restore the smooth color gradient.
- It asks you to see structure: color, form, ordering, analogy or gradual reveal.
- A new Strata puzzle appears every day, and Infinite mode lets you keep practicing the same idea after the daily round.
Rules
- Start from the visible board or clue set and make a move that follows the core visual reasoning puzzle logic.
- Use the feedback on the screen to narrow the remaining possibilities.
- Win by completing the board, answer, order or hidden target. In Daily mode your result is recorded once; in Infinite mode you can keep experimenting.
Data and puzzle logic
Daily seeds choose controlled palettes, symbols and transformations so each puzzle is reproducible and shareable.
Lore and naming
Strata is named like a small artifact from the Wittora shelf: compact, memorable and a little mysterious. The lore is intentionally light. The game should feel like a clever object you pick up for a few minutes, solve, share and put back glowing.
Where the idea comes from
It draws from IQ-matrix problems, nonograms, visual quizzes and design-school exercises, with a gentler voice.
