Meet Spark: A new app for curious minds

If you’ve ever played Elevate’s Crossword or Wordbend, then hello again! I’m Chandi, Senior Puzzle Editor at The Mind Company. My job is to create puzzles that leave you a little sharper, a little more curious, and maybe just a little frustrated at how tricky the English language can be.

And today, I get to share something we’ve been building: a new puzzle app called Spark. It’s designed to make learning about the world quick, fun, and habit-forming, and we’d love for you to try it.

Why we built Spark

The Mind Company, we build apps that bring mental fitness to every mind, every day. Balance supports your mood and sleep, while Elevate helps you stay sharp.

With Spark, our aim is to inspire. The world is such an exciting and beautiful place. We think that’s worth celebrating. So we created clever puzzles rooted in real-world knowledge—everything from history and science to culture and sports. Each of our puzzles is crafted to be playful, surprising, and memorable. 

What makes Spark different

Every day, you’ll get a fresh theme—think blue jeans, potatoes, poison, or even pigeons—that ties together a set of short, delightful puzzles.

• Each puzzle takes only a few minutes.

• Every theme leaves you with facts you’ll actually remember.

• And the best part? You’ll start to notice how fun it feels to learn something new, one puzzle at a time.

In other words, Spark unlocks a world of knowledge through my favorite medium: puzzles.

Meet Spark’s daily themes

Here’s a taste of what you might encounter in Spark:

• Potatoes: How this humble spud made its way around the world and into our bellies.

• Poison: How deadly plants influence everything from literature to language.

• Blue jeans: How our well-worn closet staple was born out of the Gold Rush.

Each day’s theme comes alive through puzzles that make the facts stick. It’s the difference between reading about history and feeling like you’ve uncovered a secret worth retelling.
