Read full description

Tap a clear-path worm. Watch it escape—and strike back. Untangle Worms is an arrow-order puzzle where every safe move becomes a monster attack. Read each direction, clear the board in the right order, and protect five hearts before monsters return to the cave. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a worm only when its arrow path is clear • Clear every worm to win • Each escaped worm attacks monsters on the outer track • A blocked tap vibrates but does not cost a heart • Lose one heart only when a monster reaches the cave 300 CAMPAIGN PUZZLES • Work through 300 solvable levels and 15 themed boss chapters • Face a mini-boss in Level 10, then a boss every 20 levels • Zoom and drag to inspect packed boards • Use a safe hint when the next move is hard to spot SPECIAL WORMS, BIGGER HITS • Double worms hit harder • Piercing worms strike through multiple targets • Explosive worms damage nearby monsters DAILY PICTURE CHALLENGES Solve a picture-shaped board each day, build a 7-day streak, earn Star Coins, and collect 90 picture badges. Daily Challenges are separate from campaign progress. PLAY YOUR WAY Track 14 achievements and two leaderboards with Game Center. Continue offline after level data is ready. The first 50 campaign levels are free. Continue with the purchase options shown in your storefront. Can you find the right escape order before the monsters reach the cave?
