An Klotski & Crossword influenced additive puzzle game . A grid. One rule you'll keep breaking, Vowels are your most valuable resource — and your greatest threat. Three or more identical vowels touching = they evaporate. You need them to make words. You can't hoard them. Tap a tile, swipe to slide it — tiles glide until they hit a wall or another tile. Line up letters to spell a word, tap to score it, and the board breathes back to life with freshly forged tiles. The catch: let three of the same vowel touch — anywhere, in any shape — and they vanish instantly. No score. No warning. Just gone. VEXED! is a pure word puzzle. No timers. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just you, the board, and the vowels you're desperately trying to keep apart. FEATURES · Four difficulties: Easy (5×5) through Hard (fills your screen) · Tile Forge system — score longer words to forge more tiles back · Vowel danger radar — the board pulses when a cluster is forming · Combo multiplier — chain words without losing vowels · Word history strip — tap any scored word for its definition · Arcade Mode — vivid background, textured tiles, bold scoreboard · Peak Vexation — per-difficulty high score on the start screen Can you reach an S grade?
