Enjoy our word crafting puzzle joy that never wears off! Combine letters to create words and choose your playstyle: take big risks for huge rewards, or carefully plan your way through hours of create-a-word fun! Face the mysterious Fridge in our brand new Story Mode, survive as long as you can in Endless mode, climb the Daily leaderboard or play against others in Multiplayer! Words in Progress offers: - A unique new word game - Single Player Story Mode - Single Player Endless mode - Multiplayer asynchronous Mode - A long and steady learning curve - Clean, cozy and crisp design - Fun for players of all ages - Multi-language gameplay and support In Words in Progress, the game begins with seven letters stacked vertically on the screen. Your goal is to combine these letters into words. Whenever you move a letter to another row to build a word, its empty spot is instantly replaced with a new letter from your pile. After submitting a word, new letters are added again, keeping the puzzle constantly evolving. How many words can you make? Enjoy a variety of game modes for both solo players and online multiplayer fans. Play casually for fun and learning, or compete against others and climb the ranks! In our latest Story Mode you follow our hero as they try to deal with a mysterious fridge that keeps haunting their dreams night after night. You can progress through more than 45 handcrafted levels, each featuring up to 3 stars to earn for players looking to fully master every challenge. In Single Player Endless Mode, the goal is to stay in the game as long as you can. Keep your letter pile from running out by completing challenges of varying word lengths. But beware: if you can’t keep up, it’s game over! Our Daily Challenge lets you compete against players around the world in the exact same game. How many points can you score? Climb the Daily Leaderboards and prove your skills. Remember: if today isn’t your day, there’s always another challenge waiting tomorrow! In Multiplayer Mode, you and your opponent each start with 40 letters. Do you take the risk of adding letters to words still in progress, aiming for a long word but risking an incomplete or invalid one? Or do you play it safe by “cashing in” shorter, valid words? A smart strategy is key if you want to outscore your opponent and claim victory!
