## What is Shiftword?

Every row and every column has to spell a word.

Slide a row sideways or a column up and down - letters wrap around the edge - and keep sliding until the whole grid reads as words in both directions. 

THREE SIZES, ONE HUNDRED LEVELS EACH
Start on a 3x3 where a slide or two finishes the job. Move up to 4x4 and 5x5, where the lines fight back: straighten a row and you break a column. Five packs per size - Easy, Medium, Tricky, Hard, Expert - 300 puzzles in all. Clear one in par for three stars.

A DAILY PUZZLE, THREE TIMES OVER
Three puzzles every day, one per size, the same for everyone. Keep your streak going and compare your time and move count with friends.

SECRET SOLUTIONS
Most grids have more than one answer. Land on a valid board the puzzle wasn't built around and you've found a secret: a trophy, and a free hint for the trouble. Every level shows how many are hiding in it.

BATTLE SHIFT
A 10x10 board, three minutes, one opponent, the same scrambled letters for both of you. Any real word counts, in any row or column, and length is everything - a single nine-letter word is worth more than three three-letter ones. Whatever is on your board at the buzzer is your score. Beat Pip to unlock Scout, then Maven, then Sphinx, who does not miss much.

WHEN YOU'RE STUCK
How Far tells you how many slides you are from the answer. Hints point at the next move. Undo and Restart are always free.

Built for one-handed play, works offline, and nothing needs an account.
