Give a clue. Find your words. A free word game for friends, family and new people to play with. CleverWords is for the people you play with: your sister across the country, the group chat, the friend you only see at the holidays. Take your turn when you have a minute. Your partner takes theirs when they have one. No one to play with yet? Pick a role in the Commons and we'll find you a partner. HOW IT PLAYS One player looks at a board of words and gives a one-word clue with a number, like "orchard, 3". Their teammate tries to find the three words it points to. Read each other well and you clear the board. Read it wrong and you hand the other team a word, or land on a word that ends the game. WAYS TO PLAY • 4-player: two teams of two, a setter and a guesser on each side. First team to find all its words wins. • 2-player: co-op with one teammate. One of you gives every clue, the other guesses, and you swap when you play again. Clear the board in as few turns as you can. • Minis: a small board of nine words. Pick a few, give a clue, and other players guess it later. Or guess theirs. • Daily Guesser: a few real clues from real games, every day. Find the words each setter meant, then see what everyone else picked. Missed a day? Catch it up any time that week and your streak keeps going. • Daily Setter: one board for everyone, every day. You give every clue and GuessBot guesses right away. Clear it in as few clues as you can, then see how everyone else clued the same board. THE COMMONS Want more games than your friends can keep up with? The Commons is where you meet new people to play with. Finish a Daily Guesser and give your first clue, or finish any game with friends, and 2-player games with other players open up. 4-player opens after three finished games. Pick a mode and a role, and the game starts when someone joins. ON YOUR OWN TIME Turn reminders tell you when it's your move, and that's all they do. No marketing. Chat with the table, nudge a friend who's gone quiet, and rematch with roles switched. Friends can join with a link or a game code, from any phone. On iPhone and iPad. KEEPING IT FRIENDLY You can report any message, clue, name, photo or bio, and block anyone. We read every report, normally within 24 hours.

Great fun and I’ve made some great friends!!! ### 5/5 — Best game w friends *2026-05-30* Have made some REALLY GOOD friends thru this app. The trick is to “friend” people you play with (or find thru the Daily Guesser). Search by name and ID icon and add them as a friend. Nobody gets notified they’ve been friended but it makes creating new games a lot easier. Generic flying solo games are hit or miss. Often they never get past go bec people don’t check notifications. Find people you like playing with, USE the chat feature and always be nice. **Developer response:** 👍🔥🙌 thanks for the awesome review - get your friends on board! ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2026-05-23, version 2.03* I play daily with friends I have made in this game app. Soooo fun! It’s truly my favorite! ### 3/5 — Ads Galore *2025-09-24, version 2.03* Can’t play for more than about 45 seconds without an ad that lasts for just as long. I understand about monetizing as much as the next guy, but it’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — No single player & sooo many ads *2025-07-07* The option to join pickup games just doesn’t work. I tried 2 and 4-person. All the buttons are duds. I downloaded the app for that purpose The solo mini games aren’t awful… but there are really long ads every couple moves. Way too much ad time!! ### 5/5 — Greatest App! *2025-06-02* I know this is a knock off version of CodeNames, but this is just the best app ever!!! I’ve met GREAT players on here and I play every. Single. Day. I hope this app sticks around for a VERY VERY VERY long time. Thank you so much to the developer!! ### 5/5 — Best game ever!!! *2025-05-25* My absolute favorite app, and the first one I go to in the morning! The game is so fun, especially with the team friends I’ve made! ### 1/5 — Can’t play against anybody *2024-05-21, version 2.03* Won’t match u with anyone ### 3/5 — Doesn’t seem to work well *2023-09-27, version 2.03* I was excited that everyone here says this is almost the same as playing code names. However, when I try to join a game. It doesn’t let me. The only thing the app lets me do is play the daily guesses. 😫 ### 5/5 — So many ways to play *2023-01-22, version 2.02* I really like that there are lots of different ways to play. I do the Daily Guesser every day and find it’s fun to build a “friend” list to see how I do against other regulars. Some on my list are truly people I know but others are just people who I’ve found who do well consistently and I’ve added them to my friend list (they have no idea, I’m sure). Playing Quick Play involves using different strategies. It’s a chance to stretch more and use looser associations when clue setting. And Two Player games are a chance to also stretch a little, to see if you can complete a board in 3 or 4 turns. Still my favorite are the classic 2 against 2 games(4 player). Some people play their turn pretty quickly and others let days go by (which is unfortunate). All are so much fun! **Developer response:** 👍🔥🙌 thanks for the awesome review - get your friends on board! ## Frequently asked questions about CleverWords ### What is CleverWords? CleverWords is a word game that offers multiple ways to play. You can enjoy a solo endless mode where you create clues for others to guess, or invite friends and family to play in asynchronous 2-player or 4-player team modes. The objective is to guess your partner's words or beat the opposing team. ### How do you play the solo mode? In the solo 'Mini' version, you type a clue and select up to five associated words on a nine-word grid. Community members can then guess your board, and your 'setter' rating is based on how well they guess your clues. You can also boost your 'guesser' rating by guessing community boards. ### Is CleverWords free to play? The application is free to download and play. It offers in-app purchases, which may enhance the user experience or provide additional content, but the core gameplay is accessible without cost. ### What are the multiplayer modes? CleverWords features a 2-player asynchronous mode where you can invite a friend to play on your own devices. The original 4-player mode is a 2-against-2 team game where the goal is to select your partner's cards before the other team, with a 'Death Card' that can end the game instantly. ### Can I compete with others? Yes, you can compete in the Daily Guesser, which involves guessing words from various CleverWords games. Successfully guessing all four words can help you maintain a streak, adding a competitive element to the game. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 3.0.0 — 2026-10-26 We rebuilt the whole app. Your account, your games and the people you play with come along.
