## What is Letterex?

Letterex turns spelling into a duel.

Start from a 3-letter word. Take turns reshaping it — GROW it by adding a letter to either end, or SPIN a dial to change one letter in place. Every result must be a real word. No repeats. Corner your rival and the chain seals in your favor — first to 100 points takes the match.

DUEL ON ONE PHONE
Pass-and-play battles with family and friends. No second device, no accounts, no setup — hand the phone over and outword them.

FACE THE LOCKSMITH
A cunning AI opponent with a personality. Beat him at Apprentice for free — Journeyman and Mastermind await in Letterex Complete.

THE DAILY DUEL
One shared duel a day, everywhere in the world. Same word, same spins, the Locksmith at the day's difficulty. No hints, one try — first to 100 wins. Share your spoiler-free result card and settle who's the real wordsmith.

ZEN MODE
No opponent, no clock — just you and the cylinder. Keep one unbroken chain alive for as long as the dictionary allows, with unlimited hints and an auto-spin assist.

NOTHING IS COLLECTED
No ads. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Works completely offline. Your words never leave your device — that's a design decision, not a settings toggle.

### 5/5 — super fun word game

*2026-09-09*

i never wrote a review for phone games before, but this is one of the best word games ive played! very relaxing but also stimulating

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-09-05*

I don’t usually play games on my phone because I get bored with them very quickly. But this is simple and fun. It certainly makes you think and I’m only on the apprentice level.  And, the side commentary is hilarious.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-09-04*

I love this game!  I can’t wait for tomorrow’s Daily Duel to improve my score.  Look out, Locksmith!

### 5/5 — Fun !

*2026-09-04*

This is a relaxing way to spend time. If you want to get your mind off things and challenge yourself at the same time without being stressed, this game is perfect.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2026-09-04*

Love this game, literally can’t stop playing!

### 5/5 — Codex Word Puzzle Game!

*2026-09-03*

Super funny & creative game that makes you think differently about words - sharpens word building skills and the commentary from the wordsmith is hilarious!
ps- nice to play a game that isn't trying to track me!

### 5/5 — The new wordle

*2026-09-03*

This is the new Wordle for me. I enjoy the gameplay. It’s a bit more sophisticated than Wordle, but still has a daily duel for me to share with friends. I paid for the app to get the additional challenges. It definitely increases the difficulty in a fun way.

### 5/5 — Love the Daily Duel!

*2026-09-02*

I can’t stop playing this game and trying to defeat the Locksmith on all difficulties. Currently working on Mastermind.
