Word crafting puzzle joy that never wears off! Combine letters to create words. Survive as long as you can in Endless mode, or play against others in Multiplayer!
Words in Progress offers:
- A unique new word game
- Single player endless mode
- Multiplayer asynchronous mode
- Long and steady learning curve
- Clean, cozy and crisp design
- Fun for all ages
- Multi-language support
A game of Words in Progress starts with seven letters vertically aligned on the screen. It’s up you to combine these letters into words. When a letter is removed from its position and attached to letters in another row, the empty spot is filled with a new letter from your pile. When you submit a word, the same thing happens.
Words in Progress has a few game modes: single player Endless mode, Practice mode, and Multiplayer mode.
In single player Endless Mode, you try to stay in the game as long as possible. To prevent your letter pile from emptying and going game over, you will need to complete different word-length challenges.
In Multiplayer mode, you and your opponent both have 40 letters to start with. Will you add new letters to words that are still in progress to try and create a long word, and risk ending up with an incomplete and invalid word? Or will you succeed, and reap the high reward for long words? Playing it safe by ‘cashing in’ shorter but valid words is another strategy to consider, but you'll have to play smart to defeat your opponent!

What's New in Words in Progress
2022.1.5 (1.5.0)
December 17, 2024
New Features
● We’ve got a shiny new icon! We hope it better reflects what our players would expect from a word game.
● We’ve also given the default theme a refresh: now it’s got that classic, tiled word game vibe.
● For all the fans of the old-school Words in Progress default theme, don’t worry! We’ve added it back as the 'Classic Red' theme. Enjoy!
Wordlist Changes
● All words requested by players have been reviewed and, if found to be suitable for all ages and valid, added to our word lists. Thank you to everyone who gave us feedback!
Quality of Life Improvements
● Added a highlight state to the drop box for keyboard and controller interaction for specific drop box states. This way the player has a better indication of where their interaction is in those states.
Bug Fixes
● Fixed an edge case bug where the drop box could get ‘stuck’ in a highlighted state when combining mouse with touch and keyboard or controller interaction methods.
● Fixed an issue with theme bars not coloring properly when changing the game language in the theme overlay.
I’ve been avidly playing endless mode for weeks - I love the challenge of building extremely long words and using blank tiles strategically.
The new ‘word lookup’ feature is very much appreciated, as I’ve had the unfortunate experience of building a Scrabble-valid 14-letter word, only to find out when playing the last letter that it wasn’t valid for this game.
Thanks to the devs for the improvements to an already great game!
