About Ink Side Down
A daily puzzle: roll an inked cube so it prints only the marked squares.
A daily logic puzzle: three boards a day (Easy, Medium, Hard), the same for everyone. Roll a cube across paper. One face is inked, and whenever it lands face-down it prints the square below.
Ink may only touch the marked squares, and a roll that would ink a bare square is blocked. Print every mark to solve the board, and match par for a star. Undo and restart don't refund moves.
