Word Herd is a daily word game. Swipe letters into words, stack multipliers, and see where you rank against everyone playing the same board. PASTURE: ONE BOARD A DAY, NO CLOCK Every day brings a fresh 5×5 board, and everyone plays the same one. There's no timer, so take a minute or take all day. Hunt for long words, chain 2× and 3× multiplier tiles, and chase the day's category list. Standings lock at midnight Eastern. STAMPEDE: THREE HEATS, GO FAST Three timed heats a day, 2:30 each, one try per heat. Play all three and they add up to one Stampede Day score, with day standings that go final at midnight Eastern. HERDS: YOUR PEOPLE Start a Herd with friends, family or coworkers and share an invite code. See shared progress, compare every daily score, and find out who really runs the pasture. CORRALS: PRIVATE GAMES Start a private game and share it by link or code. Everyone gets one timed try before it closes. Choose how it scores: - Standard scoring: every valid word counts. - Unique scoring: only the words nobody else found count. If two players both find a word, neither of them scores it. STREAKS AND STATS Keep your daily streak alive, track your podium finishes, and fill your wins shelf. Turn on notifications and get a ping when you finish near the top. SEE EVERY WORD YOU MISSED After each round, see every word on the board, including the ones you missed. Tap any word to see its path on the board and its definition. Free to play on iPhone and Android.

Connect every dot. One single stroke. Never the same link twice. Rekha brings two games together in one app: drawings to trace in a single stroke, and a haunted maze where you must find the way out. On iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad. No timer, no lives to lose, completely offline. GAME 1: LINE DRAWINGS Each drawing is traced in a single motion: you can pass through a dot again, but every link can only be used once. Lift your finger whenever you like and pick up exactly where you left off. • 500 drawings, every one guaranteed solvable • 5 independent modes, grouped in three families: Origins (Easy, Medium), Ascension (Hard, Expert) and Abyss (Hell) • Its own music and color palette for each mode • A daily challenge, the same for everyone GAME 2: HAUNTED MAZE Find the way out. 100 logic mazes, abstract and with no luck involved, in a dark and elegant atmosphere. Slide your finger from tile to tile: doors opened by switches, portals, one-way tiles, tiles that collapse, steps to cross in order. Each new idea is introduced on its own before it is combined with the others. The five moods (The Whisper, The Shadows, The Forgotten, The Nightmare, The Abyss) evolve as you progress, in look and in music, with mist, cobwebs and subtle sounds (the Halloween decor can be turned off in Settings). A short interactive tutorial introduces each mechanic. The challenge comes from thinking, never from poor visibility. STARS AND A STREAK Earn up to 3 stars per level in both games: one for finishing, one more with no hint, one more for a clean stroke. Replay a level to improve your result. A daily streak encourages you to come back, and never punishes you for taking a break. COMFORT • Optimized for iPhone Duo (inner and outer display) and made for iPad, it fits every screen: iPhone in portrait or landscape, iPad, large screens, resizable windows (Split View, Stage Manager) • On a large screen: both games side by side on the home screen, bigger drawings and mazes, a control panel on the side in landscape • Undo and restart in one tap, no timer, no pressure • A hint that really shows the next right stroke (drawings) • If you get stuck, a clear explanation of why (no ad) • A tutorial for each game • Works completely offline • 12 languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal) Made for calm play: no account to create, no timer, no lives to lose. Videos are optional and only used to unlock a hint, never during a stroke. Every dot. One single stroke.
