STACKD is a daily word-tile puzzle: one board, four words, one day to solve it, then it's gone until tomorrow. Everyone in the world gets the exact same letters and the exact same board each day, so however you did, that's really how you did. HOW TO PLAY Tap letters from your rack, in order, to spell a real word, then lock it in. Land on a multiplier tile to boost your score, the rarer the color, the bigger the payout. Four words and you're done for the day. FEATURES - A fresh puzzle every 24 hours, same for every player - Colored bonus tiles: double/triple letter, double/triple word - Rare rainbow Unicorn Tiles that stand in for any letter - A hidden daily Word of the Day bonus - Word Jackpot: auto-solve any word you're stuck on, for a coin cost - A streak ladder that rewards playing every day Coins are earned just by playing, and can also be topped up for real money if you want to skip the wait, never required to finish a puzzle. No ads. No timers pushing you to pay. Just a board, four words, and a day to solve them.
