## What is ManyWords?

Thousands of puzzles, free to play; with leaderboards, achievements, training, archives, and the all-important daily challenge!

How many words can you find before the clock runs out?

ManyWords is a free daily word search / word hunt puzzle for iPhone. Every day you get the same 4×4 letter grid as everyone else. Trace adjacent letters (including diagonals), submit real words, and chase a higher score — then come back tomorrow for a brand-new board.

WHY PLAY MANYWORDS
• Fresh Daily Challenge every day — one shared board, five minutes on the clock
• Score for longer words, clean play, length clears, and board-completion bonuses
• Global cloud leaderboards plus private friend groups with invite codes
• Training mode to practise with custom grid size, difficulty, timer, and rules
• Archive to replay past daily puzzles and share grids with friends
• Achievements, streaks, Encore unlocks, nicknames, and avatars
• Free to play with optional rewarded ads for hints

HOW IT WORKS
Tap connected letters to build a word of three letters or more. Valid new words score instantly; duplicates don’t. Keep mistakes low for an accuracy bonus, clear every word of a letter length for +500, and climb completion tiers as you uncover more of the board.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Daily Challenge for competitive scores. Training when you want unlimited practice. Archive when you want yesterday’s grid again. Compete worldwide, or create a private leaderboard, share a short code, and race your friends on the same daily puzzle.

Built for quick word-game sessions — perfect if you like word search, letter-grid hunts, anagrams, spelling challenges, and daily brain puzzles.

Download ManyWords free and see how many words you can find today.
