Hangman, and nothing else. No accounts, no coins to collect, no timers counting down. Open it and play. A NEW WORD EVERY DAY Everyone gets the same Daily Word, and everyone gets one attempt at it. Solve it and your day streak grows; miss a day and it starts over. Share your result as a card: the gallows as you left it, how many guesses you had to spare, and your streak. It never gives the word away. An optional once-a-day reminder keeps the streak alive; turn it on in Settings. PLAY HOW YOU LIKE - Three difficulty levels: short (3-4 letters), medium (5-6), and long (7 or more) - Nearly 3,000 words built in, free - One free hint per game, for when a word won't come - Seven wrong guesses, drawn out on a gallows that sketches itself in STATS THAT SAY SOMETHING Games played, win rate, current and best streaks, tracked separately for every difficulty and every pack. A breakdown of how many guesses you had left when you won. And your Daily Word day streak kept on its own, because a run of days is not the same as a run of wins. FIVE THEMED WORD PACKS Animals, Food & Drinks, Sports, Travel, and Nature — a thousand more words across the five. One purchase opens all of them, once. The rest of the game is free. BUILT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY - Plays completely offline - No account, no sign-in, nothing to set up - No ad networks, no tracking. The only ads are small cards for other indie apps, and unlocking the packs turns even those off - Full VoiceOver support and Dynamic Type throughout - The board warms from calm toward danger as your guesses run out Just Hangman. Exactly what it says.

About

Read full description

Capelo is a fast, addictive word game. Swipe across a letter grid to form words and chain explosive combos. Find words on a 7×7 grid by dragging your finger from letter to letter in all 8 directions. The longer the word, the higher the score. Words of 4+ letters spawn bombs that trigger spectacular chain reactions and multiply your points. Used tiles disappear and new letters drop in — the grid never runs out, so the only limit is the clock. How to play - Swipe across adjacent letters to form a word (3 letters minimum) - Release to submit — valid words earn points and add time - Words of 4+ letters spawn bombs that blast surrounding tiles - Explosions chain together for massive bonus points - New tiles fall in to replace every cleared letter — the grid is endless - The clock is ticking: each word adds time, longer words add more 4 languages Play in English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese. Language is detected automatically, or switch it in settings. Each language has its own dictionary and tailored letter distribution. Global leaderboard Compare your best score with players worldwide on the All Stars leaderboard. Customize your profile with a username and a link to your project or website. Built-in definitions After each game, review every word you found. Tap any word to look up its definition straight from Wiktionary. Minimalist and distraction-free No account required. Just you and the letters.
