The problem

Word puzzles shouldn't feel like a gotcha.

The daily word game became a global ritual — and then the cracks showed. Real complaints from real players:

Without question, the worst thing that's ever happened to me. PARER broke my 218-day streak.

— Quoted in PC Gamer, 2022

Who actually says parer? We all call it a paring knife.

— Twitter, Sept 2022

The ads have made this unplayable. One ad per move, and some freeze the whole app.

— App Store review, Wordscapes

How it works

Every puzzle has a theme.

The theme is revealed up front. You still get 6 guesses. But now the puzzle tests your vocabulary in a domain — not your ability to guess between WATCH, PATCH, LATCH, CATCH, and BATCH.

01

See the theme

“Breakfast staples.” “Things in a toolbox.” “What's at the beach.” Crafted daily — never auto-generated.

02

Make your guesses

Six tries. Correct, wrong-place, and miss. The hint doesn't make it easy — it makes it fair.

03

Share your streak

Private friend leagues built in. No copy-pasting emoji grids into WhatsApp.

What you get

Everything the other one forgot to build.

The features players have been asking for since 2022. We're building all of them.

A

Full archive

Play every past puzzle. Archive games don't touch your daily streak. Start whenever you want — catch up anytime.

L

Friend leagues

Private leaderboards for your group chat, your family, your coworkers. Invite via link. See everyone's score at a glance.

S

Streak grace

Life happens. Earn grace tokens that save your streak when you miss a day. Your 300-day run shouldn't die because of a flight.

Practice mode

Infinite themed puzzles for when the daily isn't enough. Doesn't affect your stats. Perfect for warmups or wind-downs.

Cross-device sync

Your streak lives in an account, not localStorage. Switch phones, open on your laptop, nothing breaks.

$9.99 once. Yours forever.

Daily puzzle is free, forever. One $9.99 unlock — the Hinted Pass — gets you archive, leagues, practice, and streak grace. No subscriptions. No ads. Ever.
