FEATURE CREEP, SUCCESSFULLY SHIPPED

The ideas became features

Many things once listed as future or “Pro version” ideas are already part of the free game. There is no paid Pro tier.

Find the stubborn words

Completion tracking unlocks layered hints. Dead-letter ghosting shows which tiles have run out of useful paths.

See how you got there

Alternative path highlighting, next-letter guidance and score bubbles make the grid explain itself as you play.

Learn and improve

Built-in definitions, curated word lists, automatic updates and missing-word submissions keep discovery useful.

Keep your progress

High scores, medals, ranks, titles, backup and restore, grid sharing and an optional global leaderboard are live.

Make it yours

Light and dark themes, adjustable animation and display options, fullscreen and controller support adapt the experience.

Stay player-first

Free, open source, no adverts, no tracking, no in-game purchases, no nagging and no deliberate crippling.
