Quillon is a word puzzle game built around one idea: grow words from the inside out. Insert letters between existing ones. CAT becomes CART. CART becomes CARROT. Each insertion opens paths the last one didn't. HOW TO PLAY Start with a 3-letter word. Insert letters within it to build longer words. Earn points with every valid word you find. Stop when you're satisfied — or when the timer runs out. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Daily — One puzzle, every day. See exactly what you found and what you missed, then keep climbing or bank it for tomorrow. As more climbers join, compare your climb on the daily leaderboard. Relaxed — No clock, no pressure. Pick it up and put it down anytime. Timed — 90 seconds. Race the clock, chase your best score, and watch what the hawk brings between rounds. One-time unlock, no subscription. BUILT FOR CURIOUS MINDS For adults who love word games and want something more intentional. Fewer gimmicks, more craft. If you play NYT Games and want a calmer, more personal alternative — this was made for you. WHERE IT CAME FROM I built Quillon over two years, on nights and weekends. It’s rooted in the White Mountains of New Hampshire — the mountain on the icon is the Old Man of the Mountain, which looked out over Franconia Notch until it collapsed in 2003. There’s a red-tailed hawk up there too, if you look twice. Neither is explained anywhere in the game. You don’t need to notice them to play. — Jeremy No ads. No subscriptions. Just the game.
