Parolix is a relaxing crossword word game you solve with one finger: swipe the letters on the wheel and every word you find drops into the crossword grid. Play offline, wherever you are, no internet connection needed. No lives, no game over: play at your own pace and train your brain. PLAY OFFLINE • Levels work without internet from the very first launch: on the train, on a plane, on holiday. • Your progress stays on your phone and syncs by itself as soon as you're back online. • Only the Daily Grid, Daily Missions, the chest, leaderboards, Renovate and purchases need a connection. HOW TO PLAY • Swipe across the letters to form a word, and it lands in the crossword. • Find all the words to finish the level. Extra words outside the grid count too and earn coins. • Stuck? Reveal a letter or a whole word, or shuffle the wheel whenever you like. • From 3 letters at the start to a wheel of 9: an easy start that grows into a real word puzzle. NEW: YOUR OWL AND BONUS LEVELS • After a few levels an egg hatches: name your owl and feed it with the worms you find in levels and chests. • The more it grows, the more it helps: a small bonus to coins and points, plus the "Find treasure" and "Reveal a letter" skills. • Surprise bonus levels on the map: Treasure, Ice, Blitz, Tower, Secret word and Star. YOUR EXHIBITION HALL • Collect paintings piece by piece: pieces wait on the level map, hide in grid cells and come with daily missions. • Three collections (the deep sea, the night sky and ancient giant trees), each painting with a true story. • Finished paintings hang in your hall. Rehang them the way you like. • Renovate: change walls and floors, add furniture, lamps, plants and curtains in six styles. EVERY DAY • Daily Grid: one crossword for all players, one attempt and a daily ranking. • Daily Missions: small goals with rewards. • Daily streak: the reward grows every day in a row; a freeze saves a missed day. • Daily chest: pick one of three. • Reminders when your chest is ready or your streak is about to end. LEAGUES AND SEASONS Every level earns points in the season leaderboard. Climb from the Vanilla league to Master: the best players of the season get rewards. MORE • Hundreds of crossword levels with steadily rising difficulty. • 16 animated themes: unlock them with levels, coins and seasons, plus a theme pack and Pro themes. • Word history with definitions: look up any word you have found. • 6 languages: English, Italian, French, German, Russian and Ukrainian, each with its own dictionary.
