## What is Needle?

A word search, refined.

Needle is a word-search game with the feel of a well-set page giving you puzzles built to be shared. Trace words with a fingertip and share with your friends to see who can do it the fastest.

PUZZLE OF THE DAY
One puzzle. Everyone plays the exact same board. Post your time, keep your streak, and see where you land among friends. A single attempt (no restarts, no do-overs) so the standings actually mean something.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Three board styles --> a tidy Leaf for the casuals, a rolling Scroll for those who like a healthy challenge, or a massive Canvas for...I don't even know. 
• Dozens of categories, from Anatomy to Mythology
• Clues and hints when you want them
• Relaxed, Speed, or Timed, adjust to your preference in the settings page. 

CHALLENGE A FRIEND
- Finish any round and send it as a duel. Your friend rebuilds the same board and races your ghost.

KEEP A RECORD
• Streaks that reward showing up
• A cabinet of achievements to fill, category by category
• Quiet stats that track how you're getting sharper

BUILT RIGHT
No ads. No subscriptions. No trackers. Play the entire game without an account, sign in only when you want to play with friends.

Find the word. Beat the time. Come back tomorrow.
