I already found a clone that lets me play historical puzzles in succession. I think the puzzle mechanic is neat, and when I'm in the mood I want to play it for a bunch of rounds until I get tired of it, then put it down for potentially many days. I'm not interested in the daily hook thing—I think it's a scummy pattern (even though I share the admiration of having it free of ads and tracking).

Why do you think it's a scummy pattern?

Because it’s an artificial limitation that only serves to benefit the creator of the game by getting players to come back every day.
