About

Dashagrams

Features
Read full description

Most word games require big vocabularies. Dashagrams just requires being a creative thinker! You get a random set of letter tiles. To win, you have to use every single one — formed into valid words. Sounds simple enough, until you get down to your last few tiles and can't make anything work. That's the heart of Dashagrams. To finish, you'll need to go back and break apart the words you already built, recombine the letters, and try again. And maybe again. You'll often find yourself dismantling everything you created — sometimes multiple times — before it all clicks into place. Winning isn't about spelling fast or knowing obscure words. It's about being willing to rethink everything. How it works: • Tap tiles from the pool to form words in the work area • Submit valid words (5+ letters) to your My Words area • Return words from My Words to break them apart and reuse the letters • Keep going until every tile is used — then tap Done! Game of the Day — A new shared puzzle every day. Same tiles, same challenge for everyone. Share your results and see how you compare. Features: • 40, 45, or 50 tile games • 5 difficulty levels — letter distribution shifts from forgiving to fiendish • 5 tile themes: Woodgrain, Classic Yellow, Ivory, Slate, and Ocean • Game timer and history tracking • One tile swap per game • Save and resume anytime • iCloud sync across all your devices • Light, Dark, and System appearance modes • No internet required — play anywhere Built for iPhone and iPad. Spell to play. Re-spell to win!
