About

Quiet Letters

Features
Read 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 — just letters and time to think. Three modes: • Mini — 4 letters, 5 guesses. A short break. • Classic — 5 letters, 6 guesses. The puzzle you know. • Wide — 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 — Light, Dark, Paper, Dusk, and a colour-blind-friendly Accessible palette — 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.

Untangle is a comfortable puzzle game about clearing a tangled board one line at a time. Tap a line and its head leads the way off the edge, the rest following the path the head takes. Send every line off without crossing a line that is still there. That is the whole rule. The levels get denser, and the order you choose is the puzzle. Three difficulties: Easy, Relaxed, and Hard, each with 3,000 levels. Relaxed is the default. Hard keeps your best times on your device, so the only person you are measured against is you. Fourteen themes, four of them free from first launch. A theme refreshes the palette and the art. Skins are a smaller change: swap the look of the lines, keep the theme. Twenty-five original tracks play on a shuffle. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, and it plays offline. Untangle collects nothing about you. A missed exit costs a heart, hearts come back on their own while you are away, and Unlimited Lives is available as a pass that does not renew or as a subscription, if you would rather not wait. Adjustable cell size, separate music and effects volume, a reduce-audio setting, and haptics you can switch off. Made for iPhone and iPad, by Ocular Braid.
