The Mac edition is a native app, not a stretched phone build. A 144-tile classic turtle has room to breathe, every glyph is crisp, and the layer peel that makes a five-deep stack readable is a keystroke away.
It is the same engine, the same certified boards and the same daily puzzle as the iPhone and iPad versions — and it is covered by the same purchase, because Teahouse ships as a universal purchase.
No ads, no accounts, no network. The app never phones home; the only network call in the whole product is Apple's own StoreKit when you choose to unlock it.

In the app
Perfect information
Every tile is legible from the first move. Tap any tile to light up its match wherever it hides. Planning replaces guessing.
Certified solvable
Every board is proven winnable under correct play before you ever see it. That's why there's no shuffle button: you never need one.
Difficulty that's measured
Boards are graded by how far ahead you must plan to avoid stranding a tile, not by tile count or a countdown clock.
Hints that teach
A hint explains WHY a match is safe or fatal (it frees a tile you need, or buries its own pair) instead of gifting a free move to sell an ad.
Unlimited undo, always free
It's a logic puzzle, not a slot machine.
A fresh daily board
Reproducible on every layout and difficulty, free forever. Build a streak; chase a clean, no-undo line for all three cups.
A gentle coach
Miss the line and it walks back to the exact move that stranded the board, shows the safe pair you missed, and lets you play on.
Six hand-painted tile sets and several classic layouts
Carry the heritage with no language barrier.
