What's New in Anagrail

1.1

October 2, 2026

Colour palettes are here. Anagrail has always been Night. Now there's Dusk, Sepia and Graphite too — one purchase, all of them, yours permanently. They recolour the board and the tiles and nothing else: no palette reads better than another, so the one you pick is the one you like, not the one that helps. A second chance, if you want one. Lose a run and you can now take it again from where it went wrong, up to twice. A revived run keeps your words and your score — it just doesn't go to a leaderboard, because the boards are for runs played straight through. And the Daily is a little kinder. Stage targets ease off from stage two onward, so a good run carries you further than it used to. Fixed in this version: • Words you collected are never lost. If you left a stage part-way — quitting, or just switching apps — the words you'd played could go with it. They stay now. • The definition sheet is reachable at the largest text size. It used to run off the top of the screen on smaller phones, putting the word and its tier out of reach. • The rack sits where it should on the stage screen, with the word you're building above it. • Double Up now shows on screen while it's active, so you can see the stage it's working on. • Your items moved out of the top bar into their own pocket, where there's room for them. • Dozens of labels now hold their shape at larger text sizes instead of overlapping. Thank you for playing. Anagrail is made by one person, and every word you collect comes with what it means — that part is never sold, and never will be.

FAQ

What is the main difference in Anagrail's scoring?

Anagrail prioritizes rare words, meaning obscure words score significantly higher than common, longer words. This strategy is the opposite of most word games.

Does Anagrail have ads?

No, Anagrail is completely ad-free and there are no plans to introduce advertisements.

Can I play Anagrail offline?

Yes, Anagrail is fully playable offline from the very first run to the last, making it ideal for commutes or areas with no internet.

What are the different ways to play Anagrail?

Anagrail offers four modes: Daily (same rack for everyone), Casual (play anytime), Burn (timed survival), and Ration (play-limited survival).

Does Anagrail have a subscription?

No, Anagrail does not have any subscription requirements. It is free to download and play.

Are there any in-app purchases in Anagrail?

Yes, Anagrail has a shop with optional items like spare tiles and hints. However, none of these are necessary to complete a run and are not used in scored competitive modes.

How does Anagrail help with learning words?

Every word played includes its definition, and all played words are saved. Words move from 'Found' to 'Learned' as you encounter them again, creating a learning loop without quizzes or streaks.

Is Anagrail suitable for users with low vision?

Yes, Anagrail is designed with accessibility in mind, using the Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface, supporting VoiceOver, and respecting Dynamic Type and Reduced Motion settings.
