Light the Verse
A hidden verse, five lamps, one question: where is it written? Type it the way you'd say it. Torch reads abbreviations and tells you how close you are.
Today's Torch.
Everyone gets the same verse and the same five-lamp challenge a day. Turn the tiles until light reaches every candle. There are two modes: Light the Verse, where you name where the verse is written, and Fill in the Blank, where you type its missing words. Play one or both.

Five lamps a day.
About five minutes. Long enough to sit with one verse, short enough to never skip.
Turn.
Each lamp is a small path puzzle. Every board can be solved, and they grow from 4×4 to 6×6 as the day goes on.
Reveal.
Every lamp you light uncovers the next fifth of the verse. You read it slowly, a few words at a time.
Name it.
Guess the reference after any lamp. The fewer candles you need, the more stars you keep.
Remember.
See the whole verse with a line of context, then carry it with you. Thy word have I hid in mine heart (Psalm 119:11).
Made to hide the Word in your heart.
The website gives you today's verse. The app opens the whole Bible: all 66 books, every verse, plus your streak and endless practice.
Fill in the Blank
Each lamp opens a missing word in a longer verse. Type it in. You see the letter count and first letter, and get three tries.
Practice
Endless rounds with new boards and any verse from the whole Bible, for when one a day isn't enough.
Your verses
Every verse you've lit, newest first, with its reference and a line of history. A memory journal you build by playing.
Share your candles
Post your result without spoiling the verse for anyone still playing.
Gideon's men hid their torches inside clay jars.
Why it's called Torch
“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick.”Matthew 5:15
In Judges 7, Gideon's three hundred carried torches hidden inside clay pitchers. At the signal they broke the jars, and the light was everywhere at once.
That's the game. Every lamp you solve breaks open a little more of the verse, until the whole thing shines. Then you take it with you.
It started in Berea.

Torch began as Berea, named for a town where people didn't just hear the Word. They checked it, every day.
We wanted that habit to feel like play: a few quiet minutes with one verse, a puzzle to slow you down, and a reason to remember where it lives in Scripture. Every verse in the King James Bible is in play, from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, with a line of context so you know who's speaking and why.
“They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”Acts 17:11
