Fill the missing letters. Bring the signal back. Mind the Signal turns word puzzles into transmissions from a retro radio receiver. Repair damaged words, explore 65 themed frequencies, and collect the stories hidden in the static. Chase a stronger signal or take your time. REPAIR THE WORDS Choose from seven letters to patch four damaged words. Tap or drag letters into the gaps, watch for decoys, and complete each word to recover the signal. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Intercept keeps the pressure on: the signal fades as you play, and completed words restore its strength. Open Channel gives you the same word puzzles without signal loss. Settle in and solve at your own pace. TAKE THE DAILY CHALLENGE Thirty words. Two frequencies. One ranked attempt each day, followed by practice. No hints or restores, even with Operator. Compare completion times on Game Center. BUILD YOUR ARCHIVE Recover transmissions across 65 themes, including Deep Sea, Desert Outpost, Cave Survey, Case Files, and Postal Route. Return to each frequency to reveal three layers of its story: Recovered, Verified, and Mastered. DISCOVER SIGNAL SWEEP Unlock a bonus word-search mode. Find eight themed targets and uncover extra words for bonus points. MAKE THE RECEIVER YOURS Glowing controls, animated CRT scenery, sound, and haptic feedback bring the receiver to life. Play free with ads, including optional rewarded ads and occasional ads between rounds. The optional, one-time Operator Upgrade removes all ads, tops your hint bank up to four when starting a new Intercept or Open Channel run, provides one instant Intercept restore per run, and unlocks 100 receiver style combinations. No subscription. Your shift starts with a missing letter.

Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tiny Room Stories Eclipse holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Room Stories Eclipse has 179 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Tiny Room Stories Eclipse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mind the Signal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tiny Room Stories Eclipse ships an update every 3 days, Mind the Signal every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
