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.
