LetterPath is a word puzzle game built around touch. Instead of tapping tiles or typing guesses, you trace paths through connected letters to form words and uncover everything hidden on the board. You can connect three or more letters in any direction, but you can’t skip over or reuse letters within the same path. Each level is a compact peg-board puzzle with its own shape, rhythm, and word set, designed to feel intuitive from the first swipe. Start simple with smaller boards, then work your way into larger and more challenging layouts. Some levels ask you to find every word. Others let you clear the board by finding the minimum needed to advance, while rewarding full completion if you want the extra challenge. As you play, patterns begin to emerge. You’ll start spotting longer paths, chaining words together, and seeing solutions before you trace them. It’s a calm, focused experience that rewards attention without pressure. What makes LetterPath different: • Trace words through connected letter paths • Handcrafted 2×2, 3×3, and 4×4 peg-board puzzles • Minimal, tactile gameplay with satisfying audio and motion • Discover hidden words and unexpected path combinations • Track total words found, completion, and playtime • Game Center achievements and progress tracking • Replay levels anytime to improve your score • Built with accessibility in mind: Dark Mode, Larger Text, VoiceOver, and Reduced Motion Whether you have a minute or want to settle in for a longer session, LetterPath adapts to your pace. There are no timers pushing you forward, just the quiet satisfaction of finding the next path. Can you find every hidden word? Follow the path. Find the words.

Every tile has a rule. Every placement has consequences. Get it wrong and the whole board falls apart. Place numbered tiles on a grid — each one fills a specific number of spaces around it. Odd tiles claim the corners. Even tiles take the sides. Tile 5 does both. Every tile must be placed perfectly to win. One wrong move and the board stays unsolved. Simple to learn. Incredibly hard to master. CAMPAIGN MODE Take on thousands of levels across dozens of phases. Boards grow larger, tile counts climb higher, and the challenge deepens with every phase you unlock. Earn XP, climb reward tiers, and collect resource drops as you go. There's always a harder board ahead. DAILY PUZZLE A fresh puzzle every day. Race the clock, post your score, and see how you rank on the global leaderboard. The built-in calendar lets you replay any past puzzle whenever you want. SILHOUETTE MODE The board is shaped like an object. Your job is to fill it perfectly. Same rules, a completely different kind of challenge. FREE PLAY Your board, your rules. Pick your tile count, play as many rounds as you want, and track your wins across every configuration. EARN AS YOU PLAY Complete levels to earn hints, undos, and restarts. Hit milestones for bonus rewards. Play clean — no hints, no undos, no restarts — for extra XP. BUILT TO FEEL GREAT Smooth animations. Warm wood aesthetics. Satisfying sounds and haptics. Designed to feel as good as it plays. Tile Five. One more round always makes sense.
