Squamble is a word puzzle that is relaxing yet challenging; addictive yet satisfying. Each word has had its letters shuffled. Not only that, but each word is also missing a tile in a specific position. Slide tiles across each row and place yellow tiles into the empty spaces to unscramble the Squamble! PLAY EVERY DAY! A new daily puzzle is available each day for free! Increase your streak by completing the daily puzzle every day. You can also peek at the previous day's solution to check if you missed any extra tricky words. 150 PUZZLES FREE & READY TO PLAY! Is one Squamble a day just not enough? "Puzzle Packs" mode features 150 specially written puzzles spread across six different packs, all for free. With difficulty ranging from easy to expert, you can strengthen your skills and become a total word wizard. BONUS BONUS BONUS! In addition to the main solution, most puzzles contain elusive bonus words hidden in the mix. You'll have to keep your eyes peeled and brain engaged to catch them. While all of the main words should be perfectly familiar to most players, the bonus words can be curiously cryptic! SHARE YOUR SUCCESS! Share your progress on each puzzle with the share feature, so you can boast to your friends and family about your victories. You can share the amount of words you found, the number of moves it took, and how much time it took to solve. It's not a competition unless you make it one!
