A word search with six sides, and a new one every day. Somewhere in these letters, a word is hiding in plain sight. Every face of Word Cube is its own themed word puzzle: Types of Pastry, Olympic Sports, Things You Can Peel, A Dog Walker's Pockets. Find every theme word on a face and the whole cube turns to the next one. Six faces, six themes, one cube a day. You know how it goes. The first few words practically wave at you. The middle ones hide backwards, or slip down a diagonal like they're trying to get away. And the last word takes forever, right up until it's the most obvious thing you've ever seen. Word Cube is built around that moment, six times a day. Found all the theme words? The leftover letters hide bonus words too. Sweep up every one on every face for a perfect cube. It's rare, and that's what makes it worth it. You're never hunting alone. Bloc, the little yellow tile peeking over the letters, waves when a new cube is ready and celebrates every face you clear with a cannonball dive, a drum roll or a hole in one. Stuck for a while? He hops onto a letter to point the way. In October, he even dresses up. • Six fresh themes every day, from a library of hundreds • Everyone gets the same cube, and the daily leaderboard shows who was fastest • Every past cube stays in your collection, so a missed day is never a lost one • No lives, no energy meters, no losing. There's a clock, but it minds its own business • Ads never cover the board while you play • Light or dark, and sign in to take your progress anywhere, even to any browser at play.bloc.gg Made by Bloc Games, a small studio in Ohio.
