## What is Wink?

Spin. Lock. Link.

Meet Wink, a tactile word game about making connections.
The goal is simple. Transform one word into another by changing a single letter at a time. You cannot just guess the answer. You have to find the path through the slots.

Three Ways to Play:

Link Mode (NEW): The ultimate puzzle. Connect a specific starting word to a target word. Can you find the shortest path to solve the ladder?
Classic Mode: Take your time. You must make a new word with every slot. Create a valid word with every spin to win. Plan your order carefully.
Chain Mode: Race the clock. You have 60 seconds to find as many links as possible. Keep the streak alive to beat your high score.

Why play Wink?

Tactile Controls: Satisfying spin mechanics make every move feel good.
Minimalist Design: No clutter. Just you and the words.
Vocabulary Training: Explore new word combinations.

Whether you have two minutes or two hours, Wink is the perfect way to engage your brain.
