## What is Setwise?

Setwise is a word-association game where the first correct answer is not always the best answer. Every board has sixteen terms and two to four complete solution paths.

Find groups of four while preserving a route through the remaining terms. Harder relationships and less-common paths earn more points. Clear scoring, mistakes, hints, and a complete solution map explain how every board worked.

Choose from fourteen languages for expert boards that mix meaning, vocabulary, natural expressions, homophones, and word parts. Create Community challenges from your own topics, build private groups, and share invitation links through the iOS share sheet.

Play locally without an account. An optional Setwise account synchronizes preferences, friend-challenge inboxes, private groups, and online results. Community content is filtered, and signed-in players can report challenges and block their creators.

Setwise displays a persistent, non-personalized banner in a dedicated bottom area during eligible online use, plus limited rewarded and interstitial ads. Ads never cover gameplay controls, and the reserved banner area prevents the board from shifting as inventory loads or refreshes. Setwise Plus removes and skips all ads. Strict Offline Mode is also ad-free. Purchases are managed by Apple; Civaren does not receive payment-card information.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-09-21

Banner ads now stay in a dedicated bottom area, so loading, refreshes, and unavailable inventory do not cover the board or shift gameplay. The timer also keeps a fixed width while counting. Setwise Plus and strict Offline Mode remain ad-free.

### 1.6 — 2026-09-17

Thanks for reporting the unstable play screen. The timer now keeps a fixed width as it counts, preventing once-per-second updates from shifting nearby controls. Gameplay rules and content are unchanged.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-15

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback - your ideas helped shape this update. New players now learn Setwise through a quick hands-on tutorial, then move directly through two complete puzzles before the wider experience opens. The goal is clearer, first-session navigation is simpler, and those introductory puzzles are ad-free.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-11

Setwise now offers an optional daily puzzle reminder with 40 varied messages, shown around 7 PM only on days the app has not been opened. Reminders are enabled by default and can be turned off in Settings. This update also includes the latest rewarded-unlock reliability improvements with Unity LevelPlay and the stable puzzle-board layout.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-09

Build 37 addresses the September 9 review findings.

SIGN IN WITH APPLE (Guideline 4.8)
Path: launch Setwise > tap You in the bottom navigation > tap Continue with Apple. This invokes Apple's native authorization sheet. It is presented next to Continue with Google and requests only name and email; Apple private-relay email is supported. Core daily, offline, and multilingual play does not require an account.

SETWISE PLUS (Guideline 2.1(b))
Path: launch Setwise > Home. The Setwise Plus membership card is directly below the Today's Setwise card. Tap the card or View Setwise Plus. The sheet displays Setwise Plus Monthly, the localized monthly price, automatic-renewal/cancellation language, Join Setwise Plus, Restore purchases, Manage or cancel subscription, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy. Product ID: setwise_no_ads_monthly. The subscription is included with this app-version submission.

RELIABILITY
Easy, Medium, and Hard daily boards are prepared and cached ahead of play. Opening a daily never starts a paid model call; bounded recovery serves a validated reserve board if preparation is delayed. Existing Community filtering/reporting/blocking and in-app account deletion remain available.

Please review on build 37.
