Sort 40 words into 8 groups. Swap tiles until every row of five shares something, and watch each finished row get taped down to the desk. Word Tack is a word puzzle made of paper: typewritten labels, washi tape and tiles that look cut out by hand. There are no timers and no lives. Try as many moves as you like. HOW IT PLAYS • Each board has 40 words in 8 rows, and every group of five words shares something. • Drag a tile onto another to swap them, or tap one tile and then the other. • Get all five right and the row is taped down, with its group written above. Solve rows back to back for a streak bonus. • Solve a board without help for three stars. 140 LEVELS AND A DAILY PUZZLE • 140 hand-made levels, each marked easy, medium or hard. • A new daily puzzle every day, with a streak to keep and an emoji grid to share. HELP WHEN YOU'RE STUCK • An Inkling links two words from the same group. A Clue names three groups. • Pick up a tile first to aim either one at that word. • Hold a tile to look its word up in the dictionary. • Up to three unsolved levels are open at once, and each keeps your board, so one hard level never holds you up. • Still stuck? Spend stamps to have a row solved for you. MAKE IT YOURS • Earn stamps as you play and spend them in the shop: tape colours, tile papers, row seals, desks, confetti and sound packs. • Eight sound packs, from rustling paper to a music box. Every row you solve plays a note higher than the last. • No in-app purchases. Everything in the shop is earned by playing. PLAYS WITH VOICEOVER • Double-tap two cards to swap them, or move a card up or down a row from the Actions rotor. • Hear each row as you solve it, and two-finger double-tap to hear the words that are left. ANY SCREEN, ANY WAY UP • Play on iPhone or iPad, upright or on its side. • Made for iPhone Duo: play folded on the outer screen, or open it up for a bigger board. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNTS • No ads, no tracking and no sign-in. Word Tack works fully offline.
