de Broglie is a word-hunting game that fits how you want to play. Choose your grid, set your clock, and go — all wrapped in a retro handheld shell that makes every session feel like an event. Pick your grid. Start on the 4×4 Standard board and get your bearings. Graduate to 5×5 Advanced when you're ready for more chaos. Take on the 6×6 Master grid when you want to be humbled. Play at your pace. Thirty seconds for a quick hit. Three minutes for a proper session. Or flip on Zen mode and play with no timer at all — just you and the letters. Climb the ranks. Every game earns you a rank. Move through SPARK, SHARP, and beyond by hitting higher scores and finding better words. Your rank reflects not just how many words you find, but how well you find them — points per word, best word, longest word, all tracked. Obsess over your stats. Post-game breakdowns show your best word, longest word, and points-per-word average. Your all-time best score is always on screen. The only person you're competing against is your last game.
