## What is WordWeight?

Every row and every column must spell a real word — and hit its target letter-sum.

A is worth 1, B is 2, all the way up to Z at 26. Beside each row and column is the total that line's letters have to add up to. A low target forces early-alphabet letters. A high one forces late ones. Every crossing has to work both ways.

It is deduction, not guessing. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and the game proves that before it ever hands the puzzle to you.

THE DAILY
One puzzle a day. Everyone gets the same one. You get one attempt.

Solve it and share a spoiler-free emoji grid: white for the letters you started with, green for the ones you worked out, amber for any the game filled in for you. Your result always shows how much help you took.

MODES
• 4x4 and 5x5 grids
• Easy, Medium and Hard — fewer starting letters as you go up
• Unlimited random puzzles whenever you want more than the Daily

WHEN YOU GET STUCK
• Check — reports how many letters are wrong, without marking them
• Hint — fills in one correct letter
• Reveal — shows the whole solution and ends the game

Hinted and revealed letters always show in amber, so a shared result is honest by design.

BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
• No accounts, no sign-up, no email
• No ads
• No tracking, no analytics, no data collection of any kind
• Works entirely offline — every puzzle is generated on your device

Your streak, your statistics and your half-finished grid stay on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to.

The keyboard shows what every letter is worth, so you can always see the arithmetic while you play.
