Quiet Letters
Read full descriptionHide full description
Quiet Letters is a calm word-puzzle game. Each round you have a fixed number of guesses to find the hidden word. Tiles light up to tell you which letters belong, which are misplaced, and which are out. No timer, no streak penalty, no noise โ just letters and time to think. Three modes: โข Mini โ 4 letters, 5 guesses. A short break. โข Classic โ 5 letters, 6 guesses. The puzzle you know. โข Wide โ 6 letters, 7 guesses. A slower read. Each mode plays Daily (one shared puzzle per day) or Practice (unlimited rolls), with an optional Hard mode that locks in revealed letters. Seven languages, each with its own keyboard and word list: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch. Five themes โ Light, Dark, Paper, Dusk, and a colour-blind-friendly Accessible palette โ plus shape marks on every tile so the game stays readable for every kind of vision. Soft ambient music and gentle haptics. Every sound has a tap-mute on the Home screen, no settings dive needed. An optional daily reminder nudges you back at the time you choose. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Your stats live on this device only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quiet Letters at none against X's 1. Quiet Letters also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
