## What is Foreword?

Not your typical word puzzle! Over 9000 different puzzle combinations to challenge your mind and see how smart you really are!

It isn't a crossword puzzle. It isn't a word search. It isn't a jumble? It is a Word Square!

Word Squares are a special type of word puzzle, consisting of words that can be read both horizontally and vertically. A true word square is made up of exactly four words, such as in this example...

SWIM
WADE
IDES
MESA

There are literally hundreds of valid combinations of words, which could keep you occupied for months. But what fun is that? While not a true word square, we can also construct valid puzzles of eight words, as in this example...

MINT
ARIA
SOCK
KNEE

ForeWord offers you both 3x3 and 4x4 puzzles, in more than 9000 puzzle combinations. Play multiple levels per day to challenge your wits and exercise your brain, for potentially years of game play.
