## What is Smartle?

Swap letters until every row spells a 5-letter word. Easy at first, but a word that fits now can block the rest of the board.

Smartle is a daily word puzzle that takes a few minutes. Solve today's board, race the clock in Sprint, or catch up on puzzles you missed.

A quick brain teaser for anyone who likes anagrams and word scrambles.

HOW IT WORKS
• Drag a letter onto another to swap them
• Build a 5-letter word in each of the 5 rows
• Every puzzle has at least one solution, often more

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
Daily: one new puzzle every day. You have until midnight, so take your time and keep your streak going.
Sprint: 5 puzzles in 10 minutes. Pause between puzzles whenever you like, and play again as often as you want with new letters.
Archive: play the daily puzzles you missed, with no leaderboard pressure.

LEARN NEW WORDS
The words you build come with definitions, even the ones you make by accident. It's an easy way to grow your vocabulary. Stuck? Use a hint and the game builds a word for you.

COMPETE
Compare your time, swaps and streak with other players on the leaderboard, and beat your own records.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Some reward long streaks or solving without hints. Others are secret, and you only find them by playing.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Play in English, German, Spanish or Ukrainian, each with its own words and puzzles
• Optional daily reminders
• Sign in to keep your progress saved in the cloud

### 5/5 — Fun and simple

*2023-09-05*

A great daily word game. There isn’t necessarily one solution, and that flexibility is nice. I enjoy these games but I’m not that great at them, and this one feels accessible. I have friends who are good at them and enjoy it too, so it’s fun for a range of abilities!

**Developer response:** Hello scarfie,
