Six hexagonal tiles. One shared puzzle. Challenge your friends and see who can build the highest-scoring words from the same set of letters.

The longer and rarer the word, the higher the score. DAILY CHALLENGE A brand-new puzzle drops every day — the same six tiles for every player in the world. Play it, check the leaderboard, and see exactly where you rank against everyone else who took it on. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Create a custom game and share it directly with friends. They play the exact same tiles you did, and you both see the results on a shared leaderboard. No guessing who's better — the score says it all. FEATURES • Daily puzzle with global leaderboard • Create and share challenges with anyone • Compete head-to-head on the same tile set • Game Center support • Daily reminder notifications so you never miss a puzzle • Clean, fast, no subscriptions Whether you have two minutes or twenty, Wordvex gives you a quick, satisfying word challenge every day — and a reason to send it to the group chat.
