## What is NuWords?

You tap a few letters to make a word, and it clears. The tiles above it drop down to fill the gap, and every so often they land so they spell another word. That one clears on its own, then sometimes another. Set the board up right and a single tap starts a whole run of them.

You play NuWords on a 6×6 grid, building words by tapping any letters you like, in any order. There's no rush, so you can look for the chain a move or two ahead and set it up before you commit.

Every board is made by hand, not shuffled at random. A level plays out the same way each time, so you can come back and beat your last score.

A few things you can do:
• Tap any letters on the grid, in any order
• Set off cascades that clear extra words for bonus points
• Land on ×2, ×3, and ×4 tiles that multiply a whole word, and stack them
• Drop in a wildcard when you are one letter short
• Peek at the letters coming next and plan around them
• Work through 6 levels, each built around a different twist
• Compare your scores with everyone else on Game Center
• Play with VoiceOver, larger text, or reduced motion if that is how you use your phone

NuWords is free, with one small banner ad along the bottom. If you would rather not see it, a single Remove Ads purchase takes it away for good. The optional watch-an-ad boosts are there if you want them, and easy to skip if you don't.
