## What is Crackword?

Crackword is a two-player word game of deduction.

You and your opponent each hide a secret word. Then you take turns guessing — and every guess is a clue. Crack their word before they crack yours.

Each guess scores points for the letters you share with your opponent's hidden word: full points for the right letter in the right spot, partial points for the right letter in the wrong spot. Read the scores, narrow down the possibilities, and name the word outright on your final turn for a big bonus.

Simple to pick up, satisfying to master — it's part word game, part logic puzzle, all duel.

WAYS TO PLAY — invite a friend by code, match a random opponent, or play offline vs. the computer (Easy/Medium/Hard); single- or two-round matches.

FEATURES — clean keyboard + score pad; deduction helpers; stats; light/dark themes; gameplay in 6 languages (app localized in 8); no account needed to start — sign in with Apple or Google only to save progress.

Hide your word. Read the clues. Crack the code. Download Crackword and start your first duel!
