The daily word game you finish on your Home Screen.

Swap letters until the word clicks.
Exactly one answer fits.

Coming soon to iPhone and iPad

Free, with no ads.

Small, fair and forgiving

A Daily of six letters and a Daily Mini of four, the same for everyone, every day. Then as many Free Play words as you like.

Play on your Home Screen

Add one widget, Up Next, and it plays the whole day: the Daily, then the Mini, then a fresh Free Play word whenever you have a minute. The widget and the app share one board, so you can finish where you started.

Exactly one answer

Every word is one whose letters spell no other common word. You’ll never lose to a word list. Everyone gets the same puzzle and the same par, so “I did it in four” means something.

A streak that forgives

Rest days cover a missed day on their own: you start with one and earn another every week you play. Missed yesterday? Your streak didn’t. It follows you between iPhone and iPad, too.

How it plays

Tap two letters, or drag one onto another, to swap them. Par is the fewest swaps that solve the puzzle.

Pin what you’re sure ofDouble-tap a letter to pin it down, so it can’t move by mistake. It’s only your guess, and it costs nothing.
RevealA hint turns a tile over to show the letter that belongs there. Swap it in and pin it.
SwapA hint shakes two letters that would both be in place if you swapped them. Hints are earned by playing.

Reminders stay off unless you ask for them, skip days you’ve already played, and fade away if you take a break.

One Valid Word Plus is a single purchase that adds the archive of every past puzzle, streak mending, eight-letter words, full par stats and a calendar of your days. Once you own it, the game stops mentioning it.

It looks like the puzzle page of a good newspaper, in light and dark, on every iPhone and iPad, with VoiceOver and large text throughout.
