## What is Well Word?

Welcome to Well Word!

Every day you'll get a board of 25 letters. Your goal? Make the best words you can to get the highest score you can! Be careful though, each letter can only be used 3 times. Ok fine, you can use the center letter as much as you want.

Think Strategically!
Your word multiplier increases if you use the center letter, if your letters are all touching, or if you use 8 or more letters in a word. How high can you push the multiplier?

Full Clear!
Earn bonus points for each row and column you clear. Earn even more points if you clear the whole board!

Share and Compete!
After you finish a board, share your results with friends and enemies.

Use Your Brain!
Grow your vocabulary by finding new words. Tap an unknown word to see its definition.

Offline Play!
No internet connection required.

No Ads!
I don't like ads and I don't like tracking. Well Word is free. If you like it, consider the one-time purchase to upgrade to PRO.

### 3/5 — Word game

*2026-05-31*

I do like this game but it doesn’t look good and to only play one game without an expensive upgrade is annoying

### 5/5 — love it

*2026-04-03*

Ive been addicted to this for ages. part of my morning routine .. still never managed a score over 300 !.. I just wonder if you ever doing an update , please can you make it so its playable in landscape. ??

**Developer response:** Hey weymes! Thanks for the kind review. I'll look at adding more scoring help to the game but here's a quick cheat sheet:

- Words are scored by their length times their multiplier
- The multiplier increases by 1 when you use the center tile
- The multiplier increases by 1 when your word is connected (all letters touch each other, no diagonals)
- The multiplier increases by 0.25 for each letter over 7
- Clearing rows and columns gives +5
- Clearing the whole board gives +25

### 5/5 — Word wall

*2026-03-16*

Word wall is the name for this that makes sense!
Fun game.
Suggestions:
1) Allow for seeing/sharing/saving the words found in a game afterward for reviewing when sending score to someone
2) The visual options (color combos, stripes, etc) are all visually distracting from the letters. An easier-to-quickly-navigate appearance option would be nice.

### 5/5 — Best game at old iPad

*2026-01-24, version 1.12*

I like this game.I play it with my friend every day.It is so funny and beautiful.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-07*

This is an addictive word game, with no bugs or ads. I recommend supporting the maker and buying the full version so that you can play all the past puzzles. The words you make give bonus points if they include the central letter or if all letters are touching. Clearing a tow or column will also award bonus points. You can easily see which days you corrected the board- they are represented by a brighter colour. There is also a summary at the end of a game showing your best words and score ranking (in rough bands of points). You may want to set yourself a time limit for this app, or risk getting sucked in.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-02*

I look forward to this every single day it just makes me sad you only play it once a day !

### 5/5 — Best game on Apps

*2025-12-09*

The two options of a timed or non-timed game, the challenges of having hard letters sometimes but not always, the option of trying to get high score versus emptying out the entire grid, being able to see your stats compared with others, and great aesthetics makes me love this game! I love the simplicity of its design. Hoping for a new game from this maker!

**Developer response:** Thank you Sei!

### 5/5 — Good way to decrease unproductive phone use

*2025-12-03*

Fun way to get your brain working! Easy instructions, no distracting visuals, and it gets you thinking!

**Developer response:** Appreciate your nice review, Kool Kat!

### 1/5 — Limited dictionary

*2025-11-16, version 1.12*

PEEBLE is a word, but your app would not let me use it today. Not the first time you have omitted words.
