Guess the correct word in six tries. Ordle is a simple game, but it is not easy. It has many similarities with the classic game “Mastermind”, with the difference that you have to guess words instead of color combinations. Ordle has three levels of difficulty where you can guess words of 5, 6 or 7 letters. From easy to pretty challenging. You can guess all the words you want per day and compete with other players for the top of the rankings.

Read full description

Your robot does exactly what you tell it. That's the problem. The Perfect Robot is a programming puzzle game. Lay down a hand of move cards (forward, two forward, back, turn left, turn right, wait), press go, and watch your robot carry them out to the letter across conveyor belts, spinning gears, pits and lasers. One wrong card and it rolls straight off the edge. Get every card right and it's perfect. SIX WORLDS, 57 HAND-MADE LEVELS • Tutorial: one new idea per level. • Workshop: solo puzzles with a fixed hand. One hand, one trick, and crates to push. • Clockwork: turntables and a lever that turns every machine round. • Frost: puzzles on ice, where every move slides until something stops it, and thin ice that holds only once. • Sky Rally: race rival robots across floating islands, with new cards every turn. • Halloween: an event world on a haunted island, where ghosts scare your robot round. Finish within par without being destroyed for a Perfect run: all three stars. PLAY WITH OTHERS • Quick Game against bots. • Online multiplayer: everyone programs at once, then every robot moves together. Race for the checkpoints, or knock out the most robots in a deathmatch. • Eight robots to pick from: Bolt, Pixel, Crusher, Sparkle, Scarab, Tick, Inky and Stomp. NO ADS, NO EXTRAS One purchase gets every world, every Quick Game map and online play. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases.
