## What is HaloWords?

HaloWords is the daily word puzzle in stunning Liquid Glass design. A brand-new challenge awaits every day at midnight – the same for everyone, fully playable offline.

HOW IT WORKS
• 7 floating glass letters, no mandatory letter
• Tap or drag to connect letters into valid words (3–7 letters)
• Longer and rarer words score more – use all 7 letters in a single word to hit the pangram (+100 bonus)
• Every hit in a row builds your combo multiplier, up to ×2.0
• Shake your iPhone to shuffle the letters

YOU DECIDE HOW TO PLAY
• Challenge: 90 seconds – but every word you find gives seconds back. The clock is a resource, not a countdown.
• Zen: the same puzzle, no clock at all
• Nothing starts on its own. You choose when the round begins.

AN HONEST YARDSTICK
• Six ranks from Beginner to Genius, computed from the actual puzzle – not an invented percentile
• You always see how far it is to the next rank

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
• 365 verified daily puzzles per language – each with at least 20 valid words and a pangram
• The puzzle flips at midnight; your streak keeps count
• 3 daily goals, new every day
• Share your result as a stylish glass card – Wordle-style, without spoiling the answer

BLITZ MODE
• Three difficulty levels that actually change something: time, solution density, time credit and XP factor
• Local leaderboard for your personal records

PROGRESS THAT STICKS
• XP and levels for every round
• Animated streak flame, calendar heatmap, best score, word statistics
• German and English count separately – two languages, two independent profiles
• Today widget: streak and daily puzzle right on your Home Screen
• Game Center leaderboard and achievements

HALOWORDS PREMIUM
• 7-day free trial
• Full puzzle archive: replay any day you missed
• Unlimited Blitz rounds
• Hint system when you're stuck
• Exclusive glass themes: Sunset, Ocean & Forest
• Streak repair: save one missed day per month

YOUR PRIVACY
No trackers, no analytics SDKs, no account, no server. Everything stays on your iPhone.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-08-20

The biggest overhaul since launch – and it starts with nothing starting on its own.

YOU DECIDE WHEN IT BEGINS
Opening the app used to start the clock immediately. Now a start screen greets you: Challenge with 90 seconds, or Zen with no time pressure at all.

THE CLOCK IS NOW A RESOURCE
Every word you find gives seconds back. A good round extends itself.

RANKS INSTEAD OF INVENTED PERCENTAGES
Six ranks from Beginner to Genius, computed from the actual puzzle. You always see how far it is to the next one.

MORE DEPTH IN EVERY ROUND
Rare words earn bonus points. Consecutive hits build a combo multiplier up to ×2.0.

PROGRESS THAT STICKS
XP and levels, plus 3 new daily goals every day.

BLITZ DIFFICULTY THAT MEANS SOMETHING
Easy, Normal and Hard now move four visible levers instead of just the clock.

GERMAN AND ENGLISH KEPT APART
Both languages now track their own streaks, stats and levels. Your existing progress is preserved.

BETTER WORDS
Both word lists were rebuilt from current corpora and sorted by frequency – that's what feeds the new rarity bonus.

### 2.0 — 2026-07-28

• Much bigger word lists: around four times as many words per language – valid words are no longer rejected.
• German and English are now properly separated: only words from the language you selected count.
• The results screen after a daily round can be dismissed again.
• The language switch now applies everywhere – including the results, archive and premium screens.
• New app icon.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-28

No release notes.
