## What is Wordsicle?

Roll the dice. Build a crossword.

Twelve letter dice. Connect all twelve into one crossword, across and down, every tile joined to the rest. Place the last one and the board celebrates.

THE DAILY ROLL
Every day the same twelve dice go out to everyone on Earth. You, your group chat, that friend who always finds the seven-letter word. No two boards come out the same, so there's nothing to spoil, only grids to compare.

A LEADERBOARD FOR EVERY DAY
Same dice for everyone means every board can be ranked. Pick a name and see where you land on today's board and on the rolling 30-day board. No account, just a name.

MADE TO SHARE
Every finished puzzle becomes a share card: your crossword, score, solve time, streak, and a Hard Mode badge if you earned it. Daily boards share without their letters, so post yours before anyone has played and let them wonder how you did it. The link shows friends your board and hands them today's roll.

STREAKS, SHIELDS AND BADGES
Play every day and the streak grows. Play seven days running and you earn a shield that covers one missed day. Eighteen badges reward what a score can't see: The Monolith for a word of eight letters, The Compact for twelve dice inside a five by five square, The Blink for a solve under thirty seconds, and a ladder from The Full Week to The Orbit for a year without missing.

SCORING THAT REWARDS AMBITION
Every letter counts. Long words earn a bonus for each letter past the fourth, a letter shared by two crossing words pays twice, and a quick finish adds a speed bonus. Your score is what you built with the twelve everyone got.

HARD MODE
Every word you score locks its dice in place. Plan the whole grid before you commit.
