## What is Letter Lattice?

Letter Lattice combines the best parts of anagrams and crosswords into challenging word-weaving madness!

How do DOG and CAT relate to each other? What about GUITAR and MELODY? I made this game as an appreciation for the intertwining nature of words in the English language. 

Most word games have you searching for anagrams within a single word. In Letter Lattice, puzzles use anagrams as connectors to morph from one word to another, each word you find being essential for solving the rest of the puzzle.

— SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE —
Whether you’re better at anagramming or solving crosswords, there’s something that suits you in Letter Lattice. With hundreds of handmade puzzles, beginners can become experts, climbing their way up from “Easy Threes” to the dreaded Super-Skull puzzles.

— SOMETHING FOR COMPETITORS —
“Arcade Mode” pits you against procedurally-generated puzzles of increasing difficulty until the clock runs out. Race to solve as many puzzles as you can, gaining bonus points for finding rare words. Can you reach Milestone 5? What about Milestone 10?!

— SOMETHING FOR ACHIEVERS —
Unlock achievements by completing daily puzzles, solving clues, and zooming through Arcade Mode. As you progress, earn vibrant, hand-crafted color palettes that change the look of the entire game. From the earthy greens of the “Sequoia” palette to the rich pastels of “Coral,” there’s something here you’ll love.

—ALL FEATURES (for FREE!) —
- 20 Puzzle Packs (with 400+ crafted puzzles)
- Infinte Procedural Puzzles in Arcade Mode
- New Puzzles Daily!

- Statistics and Achievements to track progress
- 8 Beautiful Color Palettes

— FULL VERSION 
- 10 More Puzzle Packs
- More Arcade Plays
- Access to the ever-growing Daily Archive

- 4 Additional Color Palettes
- Day/Night Palettes, effectively adding 12 palettes!


~ A note from me ~

— I started developing Letter Lattice after playing these puzzles in a notebook on New York subway commutes. I enjoyed the paper puzzles so much, I spent over a year building the optimal digital interface for the puzzles to exist within.

Along the way, I discovered so much about the English language becoming entranced by the similarities between words I had once thought were very different. I began to appreciate even the simplest of words and how they relate to others. If you have read this far, I hope playing Letter Lattice will help you find this same magic that made me passionate to develop this game.

~ Ethan

### 3/5 — Love game

*2026-04-11, version 1.32*

Love this game but the ads are frequent and long!

### 5/5 — This game is great.

*2025-11-12*

The sounds and haptics feel great, the achievements unlocking new palettes is a wonderful motivator, and the puzzles are perfect for those in-between moments in the day. I also like that it apologizes for when an ad shows up. That was kind. Great game and I like the transition animation :)

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-02-09*

I just started playing, but I love the color scheme, I love how unique and fun the game is to play, and I love that you made hints free forever! To top that off I like how you can get the full game for just $3, it's much better than those games that force you to buy a subscription! :)

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-11-04, version 1.31*

I love this game!! There are so many game options. The messages and fonts are so fun. So are the colors. Such a good app, you can tell the creator had fun with it. :)

### 5/5 — Best Puzzle Game

*2024-10-18, version 1.31*

Great defintely recommend, just wanted to know if you are planning to make an android app for this app?

### 4/5 — Great game….

*2024-10-01*

If it had word definitions that pop up when you solve a line it would be amazing.

### 5/5 — Drool-worthy design

*2024-05-19*

Fantastic game — and it just happens to the only mobile game I’ve ever played that I could feel the dev’s personality shine through. Ethan deserves all the stars. The design is so satisfying, the game is challenging (but not frustrating). I wish there were more mobile games like this. I don’t even have constructive feedback — this game is fantastic.

### 5/5 — Criminally underrated

*2024-04-01*

It’s a little confusing at first but easy to get ahold of because the tutorial does a great job of explaining how to play the game. You get to play a ton of levels for free, and the game overall is very aesthetically pleasing. Yes the free version has ads, but it’s $2.99 to buy the entire game. Let the man get his well deserved bag. If he releases anymore games I’ll definitely have to play them.

### 5/5 — Game is Absolutely Amazing

*2024-03-30*

I have nothing bad to say. The tutorials, game modes, and fast-pace the game has are to love. Everything is explained perfectly and while it could take a bit of time for some to get used to, if you like word games it should be very much to your liking.

-I have a minor suggestion which isn’t a negative, but something interesting. I find myself making words that, while I can infer their meanings, I sometimes don’t know what they mean. I think it’d be nice if once you complete a puzzle and the “Level Completed!” screen with the time and “Next Level” button pop up you could press the words you made and get a brief definition of them. The feature could be expanded upon too; when writing the word then the definition shows. It isn’t necessary by any means, and not having it isn’t something that takes away from the amazing gameplay, but for the purpose of learning new words while playing a game I enjoy, I think it’d be a good quality-of-life feature. 

Besides that, the game has immense charm and I love it!

### 5/5 — Loved the tutorial

*2024-02-03*

The tutorial is an excellent step by step explanation of how the game works! It includes info on help along the way. I loved "hearing" directly from the developer. I'm looking forward to playing!
