Hello! If you're reading this you either really love Puzzmo or you are somehow undecided about our app. Let's be clear: you should download the app. We made it for you and it's free and it's really good! What do you have to lose? Puzzmo is the center of the puzzle universe. You'll find fresh original games by brilliant designers like Zach Gage and new daily puzzles for modern classics like Cross|word, SpellTower, Flipart, Typeshift, Pile-Up Poker, Memoku, and more. You'll also find a little puzzle at the bottom of this AppStore description. Go on, scroll to the bottom. NEW: MEMOKU Inspired by the classic memory game, Memoku invites you to match pairs of numbers, but there's a twist – like Sudoku, no number can appear in the same row, column, or box twice. BONGO Bongo challenges you to build a better board out of twenty five tiles, often picked on a theme by Puzzmo's friends, community members, and celebrity guests. There’s always a better board. PILE-UP POKER Pile-Up Poker is a twist on traditional poker where players build rows and columns of poker hands. The objective is to create the highest overall score by adding cards one by one to the gird, making strategic decisions along the way. FLIPART Flipart is a modern twist on digital jigsaw puzzles. This free daily puzzle challenges you to rearrange Tetris-like shapes by tapping the pivot points so that none of the shapes overlap and they all fit within the border. Flipart puzzles are enjoyable for kids and adults alike! TYPESHIFT Typeshift is our free, daily captivating word puzzle game that challenges your vocabulary, spatial reasoning, and wit. Solve puzzles by shifting columns of letters like a combination lock to form words. Each puzzle is a fun brain-teaser chock full of both word search and strategy. CROSS|WORD Puzzmo crossword puzzles are for everyone. Some of the world’s top solvers compete daily for the fastest solve on Puzzmo, but that doesn’t mean we’re here to stump you. In fact if you’re new to crosswords or struggling complete a grid, we’re here to help. Only Puzzmo crosswords offer an optional, easier hint with every single clue. CUBECLEAR Cube Clear is a word puzzle game where players spell words in a grid whose letters then disappear. Longer words score higher points, and adjacent tiles disappear after use, causing remaining tiles to tumble to the bottom of the grid. With only 36 letters, the challenge of Cube Clear is two-fold. Can you clear the board, and in how few words? WORDBIND Wordbind is a directional anagram game that challenges you to discover new words hidden within the chosen words of the day. You can only key in letters from left to right, you’re allowed to skip letters, and you can use the same letter twice to find the perfect word. With each word you find, you rise the ranks on your way to Luminary status. REALLY BAD CHESS Aside from the small advantage white gains by making the first move, chess is a battle of wits between two competitors with the same pieces in the same positions. Puzzmo’s free daily Really Bad Chess game turns all of that “fairness” on its head. For example, you might have a huge material advantage with three queens while your computer opponent might have no queens and five rooks. The pieces may look random, but your advantage is carefully calculated! SPELLTOWER SpellTower is a two-dimensional grid of letters that looks like your typical word search puzzle. But unlike a traditional word search, you can change directions, cross your own path, go diagonal, and even spell backwards! This freedom of movement allows you to find more complex and challenging words, but this isn’t the only twist with SpellTower. As you use letters, they disappear from the grid, with the ultimate goal being a perfect, total clear of the entire board. You found it! If you can solve this classic riddle, enter the answer at puzzmo.com/code "Forward I’m heavy, backwards I’m not. What word am I?" Happy puzzling!

DAILY WORDER Five daily word puzzles. Five different ways to feel smart before lunch. Daily Worder is for people who love words — the kind who notice a good pun, argue about comma placement, and feel genuine joy when a tricky clue finally clicks. The kind of person who noticed the em dash above and now assumes this writing is AI-generated. It's not, and neither are the puzzles. Each game takes 3-5 minutes. Each one is created by a human. And yes, it's actually free. FOURBE: "The one that outsmarted me before I started playing" Four rounds. Four clues. One hidden subject connecting them all. Each round gives you a single, deviously crafted clue pointing to a hidden word. No grid. No letter-guessing. Just you, the clue, and the growing suspicion that the answer has been staring at you the entire time. The catch: every keystroke is final. No backspace. No undo. You commit or you don't. Sweep all four rounds and guess the hidden subject for a perfect 6,000-point game. Most players don't. The ones who do won't stop telling you about it. TOTUM — "I had the perfect word. I also didn't pick those letters." Sixteen letters arrive on a grid. You pick eight. We tally up and score every word you can make. Every single one. For the locked-in player who thinks they'd win every word-based tile board game if they could only pick the letters: Now you can. Good luck. PYRAMID — "I was so sure the vowel was E." Pick one vowel. Every row of the pyramid — a scramble of other letters — must form a real word with that vowel. All rows. Simultaneously. Choose wrong and the whole thing collapses. Choose right and words cascade from top to bottom like dominoes. INVERTLE — "Crack the combination. One key at a time." A five-letter combination lock. You guess. The game tells you whether each letter in your guess is higher or lower than the target letter in the alphabet. That's it. That's the entire hint system. No green squares. No yellow squares. Just directional arrows and your own deductive reasoning. Hone in. Invertle rewards the kind of thinker who enjoys a well-constructed logic problem. It punishes guessing. SPYING BEE — "I see it. Wait. No I don't. Wait — there it is." Letters hide in plain sight across a grid, revealing themselves one by one. Some cells are found, some are revealed, some stay stubbornly hidden. Piece together the words before the board gives everything away. Patience rewarded. Guessing punished. WHY PLAYERS LOVE IT "I think about the Fourbe clues all day." "Totum is a vocabulary test and a strategy game at the same time." "I've never played anything like Pyramid. Choosing the wrong vowel is devastating." "This is what I wanted Wordle to grow up into." Every clue is curated — not AI-generated, not recycled. You can feel the difference. A great clue makes you groan when the answer lands. That groan is the whole point. FREE DAILIES No paywall on dailies. No ads. No account required to play. Daily Worder's daily puzzles are free because daily puzzles should be free. Each game takes 3-5 minutes. Play one on your commute. Stack all five over coffee. Share your results. If you love it, purchase a premium account to get more: more Fourbe puzzles, endless modes, and access to games in beta. New puzzles drop at 5 AM Eastern, every single day. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
