## What is Entry?

Entry is a word strategy game where every letter changes the board.

Start with a five-letter English noun in the center. On each turn, add one letter to an adjacent empty cell, then trace a connected word that includes your new letter. Valid English nouns score one point per letter. Fill the board and finish with the highest total score.

Choose how you play:

• Play Bot
Practice against an adaptive bot that builds valid nouns and chooses different word lengths.

• Pass & Play
Play locally with another person by taking turns on the same device.

• Multiplayer
Challenge friends or find an opponent through Apple Game Center turn-based matches.

Entry includes:

• An interactive step-by-step tutorial
• English noun-based gameplay
• One-minute turn timers
• Clear, Pass, and Submit controls
• Word history and score tracking
• Quick reactions during matches
• Game Center leaderboards and achievements
• Offline word validation for solo and local games
• A clean interface designed for iPhone and iPad

The rules are simple to learn, but every placement matters. Build longer words, control the board, and make your next move count.

Game Center sign-in is required only for online multiplayer features. Entry has no custom account registration, subscriptions, in-app purchases, advertising, or paid content.
