Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle — with words. The rules are simple: arrange the letters in each section so every word is valid, across and down. Each puzzle may seem difficult at first — but like all my favorite newspaper puzzles, it gets easier as you progress. Each step guides you naturally towards the solution. This is the kind of game I've been trying to make my whole career — I'm amazed Jack and I discovered this design. We hope you like it. -- Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Knotwords holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knotwords has 8.2K ratings behind it against 198, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Tiler More's written reviews are positive against 73% of Knotwords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiler More ships an update every 5 weeks, Knotwords every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
