Daily puzzles. For a fan of regular puzzles, this is not terrible. However players may feel pressured as it costs coins to play missed puzzles, and completing daily puzzles offers rewards.
Only in the case of events and competitions, when players will want to complete lots of puzzles quickly to earn a higher score and get rewards. Otherwise, you can play at your own pace.
Ads may come up randomly after completing a puzzle, are an option to earn coins, and may be necessary to unlock some puzzles.
The game is well playable without doing this. However, there is the option to buy coins for hints or unlocking certain puzzles.
While really money is not necessary to get hints, hints use in game currency, and if you’re low on this you may want to buy coins to use on hints.
Competitions don’t earn you much (coins and a sort of congrats you did it) but the game lets you know when a competition is happening and what your standing is.
