Token Forge
Read full descriptionHide full description
Token Forge is a daily word game with a twist: the letter-tiles aren't letters ā they're BPE tokens, the same sub-word fragments that AI language models use to read text. Each day brings a new plate of tokens. Combine them into real words: the more you find, the higher your score. Complete the plate to unlock the bonus round. THE BONUS ROUND ā BECOME AN ATTENTION HEAD Ever wondered how an AI model actually understands a sentence? In the bonus round, you find out by doing it yourself. Given a sentence with one highlighted word, you spread 100 attention points across the other words to show which ones matter most for understanding it ā exactly what happens inside a language model. Each puzzle teaches a real pattern: how pronouns find what they refer to, how verbs reach for their subjects, how comparatives need both sides. FEATURES ⢠A fresh plate every day for a year, 366 per language ⢠Two languages: English and Swedish, each with its own puzzles and streaks ⢠35 attention puzzles covering real linguistic patterns ⢠Solitaire mode with 100 hand-crafted word puzzles on a 10x10 grid ⢠Rare-find recognition ā knew an unusual word? It's celebrated ⢠Streaks, accuracy, a calendar of your history ⢠Gentle hints when you're stuck ⢠Fully offline. No accounts. No ads. No data collected. Every word is checked against a standard dictionary. Proper nouns and abbreviations aren't accepted; uncommon-but-real words are recognized as rare finds.

Margin is a pursuit puzzle you win with your head, not your thumbs. Every level is a small board. You move one square at a time. So do the hunters ā and they always take the step that brings them closest to you. That is the whole rule, and it is also the whole trick: because you know exactly what they will do, you can decide where they end up. An arrow above each hunter shows the step it is about to take. Read the arrows, and a level stops being a chase and becomes a plan: pull the pack one way, slip through the gap they leave, walk out through the exit. ⢠Three tiers: Easy, Medium and Hard. Each one puts more hunters on the board and less room between them. ⢠Daily Board: one board for everyone, every day, separately for Medium and Hard. Solve it to earn 200 points on Medium or 400 on Hard, and claim your spot in the daily ranking. ⢠Challenge a friend: send a board you've won as a link. They play the exact same one, then can watch your game step by step. ⢠48 titles to earn, plus weekly and all-time leaderboards on Game Center. ⢠Every level is generated and then solved by the game before you ever see it. If it is offered to you, it can be beaten. ⢠Every board shows its minimum move count. Each extra move costs a point (up to 5), so the shortest escape earns the most. ⢠A hint when you are stuck, and a fresh board whenever you want one. ⢠No timers, no lives, no energy to wait for. Think as long as you like. ⢠Plays in portrait, one thumb, anywhere. There is no margin for error. There is exactly one square of it.
