## What is Token Forge?

Token Forge is a daily word game with a twist: the letter-tiles aren't letters – they're BPE tokens, the same sub-word fragments that AI language models use to read text.

Each day brings a new plate of tokens. Combine them into real words: the more you find, the higher your score. Complete the plate to unlock the bonus round.

THE BONUS ROUND – BECOME AN ATTENTION HEAD
Ever wondered how an AI model actually understands a sentence? In the bonus round, you find out by doing it yourself. Given a sentence with one highlighted word, you spread 100 attention points across the other words to show which ones matter most for understanding it – exactly what happens inside a language model. Each puzzle teaches a real pattern: how pronouns find what they refer to, how verbs reach for their subjects, how comparatives need both sides.

FEATURES
• A fresh plate every day for a year, 366 per language
• Two languages: English and Swedish, each with its own puzzles and streaks
• 35 attention puzzles covering real linguistic patterns
• Solitaire mode with 100 hand-crafted word puzzles on a 10x10 grid
• Rare-find recognition – knew an unusual word? It's celebrated
• Streaks, accuracy, a calendar of your history
• Gentle hints when you're stuck
• Fully offline. No accounts. No ads. No data collected.

Every word is checked against a standard dictionary. Proper nouns and abbreviations aren't accepted; uncommon-but-real words are recognized as rare finds.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-06-21

Token Forge 1.3 adds medals, clearer progress, and a much smarter word check.

Earn medals: reach the day's goal for Bronze, then keep forging to climb to Silver and Gold. A new medal bar shows how close you are to finding every word, and your medals are marked in the calendar so you can track your best days.

Smarter words: the dictionary behind both English and Swedish has been rebuilt and validated, so far more real words are recognised — and a long-standing issue where some valid words were rejected in Token Solitaire is now fixed.

Also in this update:

• Token Solitaire is easier to find, with a clearer way in once you've finished the daily plate

• A tidier completion view that encourages you to keep playing past the goal

• Refined layout and various polish

### 1.1 — 2026-06-17

New in 1.1: Token Solitaire
A brand-new way to play. Work through 100 hand-crafted word puzzles laid out on a 10×10 grid. Each square gives you a board of letter-tiles — combine them into real words to clear the board, and use every tile for a perfect clear. Every puzzle is solvable; the challenge is finding the right words. Track your progress as the grid fills with color, and replay any square to beat your best score.

Also in this update:

• A much-improved dictionary — far more valid words are now recognized across both English and Swedish daily puzzles

• Refined header layout

• Various polish and fixes

### 1.0.3 — 2026-06-16

Fresh App Store images that better show the daily puzzles and the bonus attention round.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-06-14

Improved word recognition in both English and Swedish – more common words are now accepted, and unusual abbreviations no longer slip in.

Daily puzzles now draw from a more varied set of tokens, so each day feels genuinely different rather than repeating the same words.

Smoother visuals: the cream background now fills the screen edge to edge when scrolling.

Small refinements to the bonus attention puzzles.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-13

A polished start: new launch screen and refreshed app icon.

Better word lists in both English and Swedish – common words are recognized more reliably, and unusual abbreviations no longer slip in.

Daily plates now draw from a more varied set of tokens, so each day feels genuinely different.
