## What is Pathwords Puzzle?

Pathwords is a word-path puzzle. Drag through adjacent letters, including diagonals, to spell the words on the list.

Play Mini (3×3), Classic (4×4), or Mega (5×5). Find the words on the list to climb Start, Good, Great, Awesome, then Genius. Bonus words sit alongside the list. They score less, but they still count.

How to play
Drag across tiles, then lift to submit. You can’t reuse a tile in the same word.
Mini words are 3 letters or longer. Classic and Mega are 4 or longer.
List words score 2 points per letter. Bonus words score 1.
Find words quickly to catch a Speed Streak and double your points.

If you’re stuck
You get three free hints per puzzle. After that, watch a short ad for two more, as often as you need. Pathwords Premium is a one-time purchase that removes ads and unlocks unlimited hints.

Rotate the board for a fresh angle. Once you’ve earned 40% of the list, letter-count assist can show where remaining words start, and unused letters fade.

Finish a puzzle, then Play Another Puzzle for a fresh generated board so you can keep going. Progress stays on this device. No account. Works on iPhone and iPad. Offline, you’ll still get a local board.
