Werds is not just another word game. It combines word searching, strategic word arrangement, and creative wordplay as you try to squeeze everything you can out of the board for the best possible score. Connect adjacent letters to form words. Once a word is found, it becomes a movable block on the board. Slide and rotate completed words into new positions to open up space, reshape the letter grid, and create new possibilities. Longer words earn bonus points, and valuable letters can boost your score. But any letters left behind at the end count against you, so the best games aren’t just about finding big words — they’re about making the most of every letter on the board. When the round is over, rearrange your words into a bit of magnetic poetry. Then share your result with friends and compete for the best score — or the most ridiculous poem. Play solo or challenge a friend to the same board and see who can make more of it. Features • Connect adjacent letters to build words • Move and rotate completed words to reshape the board • Score more with longer and higher-value words • Lose points for letters left behind • Replay boards to improve your score • Challenge friends on the exact same board • Compare results and past attempts • Turn your finished words into magnetic poetry • Share your score, poem, and challenges • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Quickly look up dictionary definitions of your found words after each round (optional but educational!) There are no timers forcing you to rush. Werds rewards vocabulary, planning, experimentation, and the occasional ridiculous poem.
