## What is The Daily Word Puzzle?

A new word puzzle, every day.

The Daily Word Puzzle gives everyone the same fresh grid each day, built from that day's date — so you and your friends can all race the same board. Slot words from your rack onto the web of letters, crossing what's already there, and work to cover every special square before you run out of moves.

HOW TO PLAY
• Drag a word from your list onto the board so it crosses an existing letter.
• Cover the blue point squares to score, and the green ×-squares to earn bonus words.
• Clear every special square to solve the whole puzzle.

TWO DAILY TIERS
• Casual — a smaller, forgiving board for a quick, relaxing solve.
• Challenging — a bigger, denser grid with far less margin for error.
Both share the day's letters, so pick your pace.

FEATURES
• One new puzzle a day, the same for everyone.
• Undo and redo every move — experiment freely.
• A magic-wand hint that finds a smart placement without spoiling the solution.
• Pinch, zoom and pan a big, crisp board.
• A local leaderboard tracking your score, coverage and time for past days.
• Adjustable text size.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Nothing to sign up for. The game works fully offline and keeps everything on your device.

Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (best in landscape mode).
