Piction is a photo word game you play once a day. Every day there is one photo, and one word that names what is in it. You get six tries to find it. HOW IT WORKS Type a word. Every letter comes back colored in. Green means the right letter in the right place. Yellow means the letter is in the word, sitting somewhere else. Gray means it is not in the word at all. A wrong guess still rules letters out, so there is no reason to sit and stare. Answers run four to six letters. Most of them are six. THE SAME PHOTO FOR EVERYONE Everyone gets the same photo on the same day, which is what makes results worth comparing. Solve it and you can share a card showing how you did without giving the answer away. WHAT YOU GET One new photo every day, released at midnight where you are Six tries, with color coded feedback on every letter A weekly board that shows where you placed A streak counting the days you turned up Hints when you are stuck, and free ones as you play FREE TO PLAY Start without an account. Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your progress across devices and to appear on the weekly board. Hint packs are optional. It takes a couple of minutes and it is harder than it looks. See the photo, work out what it is, find the word.

Welcome to Word Braid, a word puzzle made for anyone who loves to challenge their mind. Connect the letters on the board and discover the hidden words one by one. Unlike ordinary word puzzles, in Word Braid words are not written in straight lines alone; a word can turn at any letter and trace its own path across the board. Look closely, follow the trail, and reveal them all. A Tougher Word Puzzle In a classic word puzzle, every word lies in a straight line, so the moment you see its direction, the answer is yours. Word Braid asks for a little more. A word can turn at any letter, so you have to read the whole board, keep several possible paths in mind, and think one step ahead. Since every letter belongs to a word, each level becomes an enjoyable puzzle that tests your patience and skill. Challenge Yourself The difficulty grows as you go. The first levels ease you in; little by little the paths grow longer and the words hide more cleverly. If you are looking for a word game that truly makes you think, this is the one. A Puzzle for Your Mind Every puzzle gives your mind a fun challenge. As you trace the hidden words, you put your logic, memory, and attention to work. Play a little every day and enjoy every solve. Expand Your Vocabulary Word Braid offers new words at every step. The harder levels reward a wide vocabulary and remind you of words you rarely use, so every puzzle becomes a chance to learn something new. Sharpen Your Focus Tracing even a single word takes real attention, and holding the whole board in your mind keeps you calm and focused. Every puzzle becomes a quiet, satisfying moment of concentration. Are You Up for the Challenge? Download Word Braid and put your mind to the test. See how far you can go, how many hidden words you can find, and just how good a word puzzle player you really are!
