Features
Read full description

Fourword Progress is a word puzzle that never stops expanding. Every puzzle is a 2x2 grid of scrambled words. Solve them, and each square opens into four more — a fractal of letters that goes as deep as you do. The further you zoom, the more challenging the word scrambles can get. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Pick up in seconds, play forever * No ads! • Difficulty that scales as you expand the tree • Shuffle and clear buttons for when you're stuck • Optional hints when a word just won't come to you • Plays fully offline — no account required • Clean, calm design with dark mode and colorblind-friendly options No timers. No streaks to protect. Just you, the letters, and the next level down. Fourword Progress is free to play. If you'd like a little help, hint packs are available as optional in-app purchases.
