Read full description

Anagramaster is a fast-paced word puzzle game that challenges your vocabulary, pattern recognition, and speed. Rearrange letter tiles to discover hidden words — from quick 3-letter finds to rare 10-letter masterpieces. You're either good at this game, or you'll be forced to get good. Two game modes keep things fresh. Classic Mode gives you 60 seconds and a set of tiles. Find as many words as possible before time runs out. Challenge Mode is a relentless escalator: start with 5 letters and 30 seconds, earn time bonuses for every word you find, and survive as the tile count climbs round by round. How far can you go? A 100,000-word dictionary means there's always something new to discover. Tap a found word to look up its definition. Track your progress with detailed lifetime stats, game history, and a deep achievement system spanning speed, mastery, vocabulary, and clutch moments. Features: Classic and Challenge game modes 5 to 10 letter tile sets 40+ achievements across 10 categories Lifetime stats and game history Word definitions via iOS dictionary Light, Sepia, and Dark themes Clean, distraction-free design Whether you're a casual word lover or a competitive vocabulary builder, Anagrams meets you where you are and pushes you further. No AI, no in-app purchases, no pay to win mechanisms, and no data collection.
