## What is Clackle?

A fast word game. A crossword race. Your next personal best.

Clackle is a word-building race with no turns and no fixed board. Arrange your letters into connected words, find a clever crossing, and press Check. Chase a faster solo time or build alongside friends in a live battle.

MAKE EVERY SECOND COUNT
Start with a quick 21-letter Speed Run, then try larger bags and different word-length rules. Track your personal bests and climb the weekly and overall leaderboards. Every run is another chance to find a better way to use your letters.

LEARN BY PLAYING
Your first run guides you through selecting, dragging and checking tiles. Animated tips show each move. Skip a step, go back, or open movement practice when you want to learn grouping, rearranging and Clunk.

A CROSSWORD THAT CAN CHANGE
Your board has room to grow. Reorder your tray by tapping two letters to swap them, or by holding and dragging a letter into a new position. Move a tile or shift a whole group to open a new crossing. A successful Check saves your arrangement. If a later Check fails, the board returns to its last accepted positions and unchecked letters return to the tray. Use Clunk to exchange a difficult letter; the current mode shows its penalty.

RACE FRIENDS OR THE FLOCK
Join a live table for up to eight players, or invite friends to a private game. Everyone builds at once. After a battle, explore everyone’s completed grids, zoom in and review their words. Practice against computer opponents across 20 difficulty levels. While waiting at a live table, battle a bot and join the human match when it starts.

FOLLOW THE NEXT CROSSING
Journey contains 400 puzzles across four levels. Complete workshops to build your path, one letter at a time. Sprint gives you three minutes to solve a sequence of word puzzles and chase another record.

CLEAR TILES. YOUR COLORS.
A unified interface keeps the letters easy to read on phone, tablet and desktop. Choose one of four color palettes and adjust music, ambience, sound effects and motion.

SAVE YOUR PROGRESS
Create a free profile to save supported progress across devices, add friends and join the leaderboards. Guest solo progress stays on the current device. Human multiplayer, account features and leaderboards require an internet connection.

FREE TO PLAY. PLUS IS OPTIONAL.
Clackle is free to download and play. Clackle Plus is an optional permanent upgrade, not a subscription. The shared Launch Pass gives full access during the launch period without a purchase. Buy and restore Plus with your Apple Account without creating a Clackle profile. Optionally link your purchase to a Clackle profile for access on the website and other supported platforms.
