The One-Time Unlock

The one-time unlock is a single purchase that opens up the base Lamplit library. No subscription, no recurring charges — you pay once and it's yours.

Written by Roger Noden

What you get

~$4.99

One-time purchase · Non-consumable · Family Sharing enabled

  • Access to ~200 puzzles in the base library

  • All puzzle formats — single and double acrostics

  • Shared with your family via Family Sharing

Themed puzzle packs (Weather, Literature, Mythology, etc.) are separate purchases on top of the unlock. The base library and the themed packs are distinct — owning one doesn't automatically include the other.

How to purchase

Tap Library on the home screen, then tap Unlock Full Library. You'll be prompted to confirm the purchase through the App Store using Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password. The unlock activates immediately after the transaction completes.

It's permanent

The one-time unlock is a non-consumable purchase — it doesn't expire, doesn't need renewing, and isn't affected if Lamplit releases new content or updates. Once you've unlocked it, you have it indefinitely.

No subscription. Lamplit doesn't have a subscription tier. The one-time unlock is exactly what it says — a single transaction, permanently applied.

Family Sharing

The one-time unlock supports Apple Family Sharing. If you purchase it, every member of your Family Sharing group gets access to the base library without needing to buy it separately. See How Family Sharing Works for details.

Restoring after reinstall

If you reinstall Lamplit or switch to a new device, your unlock can be restored at no cost. Go to Settings → Restore Purchases and sign in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase. See Restoring Purchases for the full walkthrough.

Frequently asked questions

Does the unlock include future puzzle packs?
No. The unlock gives you the base library of ~200 puzzles. Themed packs released in the future are separate purchases. The unlock does not act as a "season pass" for all future content.

What's the difference between the base library and a themed pack?
The base library is a broad collection of puzzles across many subjects. Themed packs are focused, curated collections around a single theme, with a tighter editorial sensibility. Both are full-quality — they differ in scope and focus, not in standard.

Can I try Lamplit before purchasing?
Yes — the free tier includes the daily puzzle and ~20 starter puzzles. That's a meaningful sample of the experience before you commit to the unlock.
