Inside
LineBy
Every puzzle is a real quote, scrambled into tiles. Swap letters until the words come back — then read where they came from.

The library
Every one of the 315 built-in puzzles was chosen and built by hand — no generated filler. Solve one and the full quote appears with its attribution, year, and a short note on where it came from.
Historic Quotes · 106
Words that moved the world — drawn from the speeches and letters of history, from Caesar to Churchill to Dr. King.
Movie Quotes · 73
Unforgettable lines from the silver screen, Casablanca to The Dark Knight, scrambled and waiting to be rebuilt.
Song Titles · 136
The titles of songs you know by heart — from the Beatles to Britney — turned into tile puzzles.
Four tiers, honestly graded
Difficulty follows the size of the board — bigger quote, bigger scramble.
Open the source
Solving a built-in puzzle reveals more than the answer. One tap from the completion screen takes you to the real thing — Listen on Apple Music, Watch on Apple TV, or Read in Apple Books — straight to the song, film, or book the quote came from.
Play it your way
Walk the library in whatever order suits you: Classic (the order it shipped in), By difficulty (easy to expert), or Oldest first (earliest quote to newest). It reorders both the library and the in-game Prev / Next — and never touches your progress.
Make it yours
Build your own
Turn any phrase into a playable puzzle — set its difficulty, sign it, and add it to your library.
Share by code
Every custom puzzle gets a short code. A friend types it in and plays your puzzle instantly — no account, no sign-up.
Challenge anyone
Friends without the app can play shared puzzles right in the browser at 0n1studios.com/lineby/play.
Worth bragging about
Game Center tracks 21 achievements and a global "Total Puzzles Solved" leaderboard. Some come early — First Light for your first solve. Some take devotion — Devoted for a 30-day solving streak, Lightning for a solve in under fifteen seconds, and The Completionist for clearing all 315.
Built for every player
VoiceOver
Every tile is a labelled button with tap-to-select swapping — the whole game plays eyes-free.
Dynamic Type & Reduce Motion
Text scales with your system setting, and every animation respects Reduce Motion.
Color, considered
Difficulty colors meet WCAG AA contrast, with a Differentiate Without Color mode for correct tiles.

Quiet by design
LineBy's App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no sign-ups. The whole library works offline; iCloud quietly syncs progress between your own devices, and that data never leaves your iCloud.
LineBy in Messages
The free iMessage companion app scrambles any message you type into letter tiles. Send it, and the puzzle lands in the conversation — friends solve it right inside Messages, or expand it to the full play view. Type your own words, or tap a ready-made everyday line — greetings, plans, warm notes, quick reactions.
