Others

• Lichess: Free, open-source, ad-free game platform — different game (chess) but highly analogous product-led-growth, free-only, multilingual, community-driven model and infrastructure for casual online play.
• Chess.com: Largest freemium casual game platform globally, monetized via subscriptions and ads. Different game category but mirrors the same PLG, mobile + web, and engagement-loops playbook Sudoku-Guru.com is attempting in puzzle games.
