About
Find a calm word puzzle for tonight, then stay for a longer arcade run.
The Word Files brings together daily word puzzles and Letter Match, a colorful tile-swap arcade mode with 120 levels across 4 chapters. Open Tonight for a fresh set, or dig into Letter Match when you want something you can play in short bursts.
WHY PLAY
• Letter Match front and center: swap matching letters, clear runs, and chase stars through a long campaign
• A new daily set each night across four classic word puzzles
• Short guided tours for each game, with Skip on every step
• Large, readable boards with a dark arcade look
• Optional sign-in syncs your progress
• UI language options for English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Indonesian, Filipino, and German
LETTER MATCH
Letter Match is the arcade heart of the app. Swap tiles of the same letter. Three or more in a row or column clear. Cascades raise your score. Locked tiles, crates, and later boards add new goals as you move through the chapters.
• 120 campaign levels across 4 chapters
• Stars for clean clears
• Time Attack: a 60-second run with scores saved on this device
• A personal Letter Match scoreboard for your Time Attack runs on this phone
• Chapter 1 teaches the rhythm; later chapters grow the board and add obstacles
Open Levels when you want a paced climb. Open Time Attack when you want a quick clock. Time Attack scores are saved on this device and included in optional account cloud saves. They are separate from World ranking.
HOW LETTER MATCH PLAYS
• Drag or tap to swap neighboring tiles
• Matching letters clear when you make a run of three or more
• Longer runs and cascades score more
• Later levels ask for score targets, crates, locks, and other goals
• Letter Match sound can be turned on or off
TONIGHT'S DAILY WORD PUZZLES
Each night brings a shared set across four modes:
• Word Guess: one 5-letter word, six tries
• Crossword: a fresh daily grid with clues
• Word Search: find the hidden words on today's grid
• Word Orbit: build words around a neon ring
Finish the night run when you can. Come back tomorrow for a new set. Each mode also has its own level maps when you want more than the daily. Finishing any daily puzzle counts toward your nightly streak.
MORE LEVELS BEYOND THE DAILY
• Word Guess levels with rising word length and fewer tries
• Crossword levels from mini grids up through larger boards
• Word Search levels that grow from warm-up grids to denser boards
• Word Orbit levels that add more letters and more words to find
PLAY YOUR WAY
• Difficulty choices: Relaxed, Normal, or Challenge
• Optional puzzle timer for Crossword, Word Search, and Word Orbit
• Optional evening reminder so tonight's set is waiting when you are
• Reorganized Settings with clear groups for play, appearance, accessibility, sound, language, reminder, account, and privacy
• Guided tours you can skip, then replay later from Settings
HOW IT FEELS
Boards are built for short sessions. Text is large. Controls are labelled. Play as a guest, or sign in if you want your progress synced. High Contrast and bigger type are available in Settings if you want them.
A WORD PUZZLE HOME BASE
Whether you want one quick daily board or a longer Letter Match session, The Word Files keeps the modes in one place. Start with Letter Match if you like arcade clearing. Start with Tonight if you like a shared daily set. Either path stays a word puzzle first.
NOTES
Optional account features sync progress and Time Attack scores when you choose to sign in. The online World ranking shows your nickname (or Player) and lifetime points. It is separate from your Letter Match Time Attack scoreboard.

What's New in The Word Files
1.0.22
November 12, 2026
Each game now has a short guided tour the first time you open it. Skip is on every step, and you can replay a tour from Settings. The letter I now shows clearly on Word Orbit tiles. Time Attack starts as soon as you tap Start. Swiping back from a puzzle should leave the next screen in place. You can also rate the app from Settings. If you are coming from an earlier Letter Match release, the campaign now has 120 levels across 4 chapters, with larger boards and new line and star powers in later chapters. Settings is organized into simpler pages, and Letter Match progress can save with your account.
