Word Play is a brain-busting spelling game about making words, getting perks, and scoring big. Imagine your favourite word game - but where you get to change the rules and the tiles as you play! [HOW TO PLAY] Click or drag to spell the best and biggest words you can find. Score points based on the value of each letter, and the length of the word. Score enough points to clear the round and you'll get a chance to pick from more than 150 perks! [USING PERKS] Modifiers change the rules of the game, in your favour. Add more tile spaces, build Bonus Points, make Q tiles become QU tiles, and more. Upgrades let you improve, destroy, discard, or duplicate tiles. Or turn them into special tiles like Golden, Diamond, Emerald, and Potion. Gifts add new tiles to your letter bag. Like wildcards, mirror tiles, and the legendary + tile. Combine modifiers, upgrades, gifts, and special tiles in clever ways to score big! [ROUNDS AND MODES] Watch out for devious Special Rounds that require perfect play. Can you reach the end of the game without running out of "Plays"? Or will you have to start again from scratch? Learn the ropes with Easy mode, then try Normal, Hard, Legendary, and Marathon modes. Play with fewer strategic elements in Quick Play - just spell words and try to win medals! [OTHER FEATURES] Includes accessibility features: Use dyslexic fonts, lowercase letters and / or high contrast mode. Get spelling suggestions. And more. Unlock more than 20 achievements in Game Center.

Put your number sense to the test in Numplexity, a fast, strategic puzzle game where every path counts. Trace across neighboring tiles to combine numbers and operators, build an expression, and reach the target. Addition is the starting operation, while +, −, and × tiles change how the numbers that follow are calculated. Plan your route, adjust as you go, and submit the closest result you can find before time runs out. Each game has five one-minute rounds. An exact answer scores zero, while every point away from the target counts against you. Keep your total as close to zero as possible—and see if you can finish with a perfect game. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE • Basic offers a guaranteed solution with a target below 300 • Normal offers a guaranteed solution with a target from 30 to 1,000 • Advanced uses an independent target that may not have an exact path PLAY YOUR WAY • Solve the same Daily Puzzle as everyone else • Start a fresh Quick Play set whenever you want another challenge • Resume an unfinished Daily Puzzle without replaying completed rounds • Share completed Daily results as a compact scorecard LEARN FROM EVERY ROUND After each round, Numplexity searches for a strong solution and shows the path directly on the board. Compare it with your route, review the expression step by step, and look for a shorter or more accurate answer next time. In Advanced mode, you can even beat the best path found by the game. BUILD YOUR RECORD Unlock achievements for exact answers, quick solves, last-second finishes, creative routes, perfect games, Daily completions, and more. Progress is tracked separately across Basic, Normal, and Advanced difficulty levels. MADE FOR FOCUSED PLAY • Clean, responsive number-path controls • Dark and light appearance options • Optional sound and haptic feedback • PEMDAS-style expressions with parentheses that preserve path order • Progress stored locally on your device • No account required Whether you are chasing a perfect Daily score or fitting in a quick arithmetic challenge, Numplexity rewards experimentation, planning, and clever paths.
