## What is Downword?

DownWord is a tactical falling-letter word puzzle.

Build words, clear tiles, manage the board, and survive as new letters drop into play. Every move matters: short words keep you alive, longer words open bigger opportunities, and special clears can rescue a board on the edge.

Features:
• Fast word-building puzzle play
• Falling letter pieces with tactical board management
• Satisfying word clears and chain reactions
• Special clears and escalating challenge
• Designed for quick sessions and deeper score-chasing
• Clean, focused iPhone-first interface

Whether you like word games, block puzzles, or compact strategy games, DownWord gives you a fresh way to test your vocabulary and spatial thinking.
