## What is SoundGlyph?

Can you recognize the same sound across different writing systems?

SoundGlyph is a multilingual matching puzzle where written characters connect through sound—not color or appearance. Swap glyphs on a 7×7 board, form matches across scripts, and gradually uncover relationships between writing systems from around the world.

HOW TO PLAY
Swap adjacent glyphs to create matches of three or more.• Combine glyphs from different writing systems that share a sound family.• Tap a glyph to hear its sound.• Complete score goals before running out of moves.• Build streaks and discover new scripts as you progress.

FEATURES

Thirteen writing systems, including Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Hangul, Hiragana, Bopomofo, Han characters, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Sound-based matching rather than ordinary color matching.
Journey, practice, tutorial, Codex, and glossary experiences.
Audio playback and haptic feedback.• Progress that is saved between sessions.
Accessible settings and assist options.

SoundGlyph is designed as a game of decipherment and discovery. No previous knowledge of the included writing systems is required.
