One word square a day. Every row and every column of the 5×5 grid must be a word, ten in all. Ten letters are there from the start. The rest arrive as small pieces that you drag in and tap to rotate. When all ten lines are words, you've solved it. Any ten real words count, not only the ones the puzzle was built from. Everyone gets the same board each day, and your first attempt is the one that counts. HOW IT WORKS • Drag pieces onto the grid and tap to turn them • The grid checks itself as you go • Your time is your score • Hints are there if you're stuck, but each one adds time: +1:00 for the first, +2:00 for the second EVERY PUZZLE IS SOLVABLE Each square is built from a finished grid of familiar words, then letters are taken away. No obscure answers, and no days without a solution. KEEP YOUR STREAK Streaks with freezes, a week at a glance, and your stats. Share your result without spoiling the answer. MORE TO PLAY Unlock the full archive of past days, plus 4×4 and 6×6 puzzles. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Works offline. Your progress stays on your device.

Build A Queen's advantage is ratings volume (455K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
