Wordslay is three word puzzles and six ways to play them, with a new board of each every day. Seven letters on a ring, twenty tiles that join into words, and twelve letters around a square. Free to play, no account, everything on your device. THE DAILY RACK • Seven letters, the same for everyone. Drag across the tiles to spell, let go to send. Find the word that uses all seven and the whole rack lights up. • The words you are expected to find are laid out as slots by length, so you always know what is left. • Five tiers as you go: Warming up, Cooking, Lowkey cracked, Sheesh, Goated. Reach halfway and the day counts toward your streak. • A week card adds up your dailies, Monday to Sunday. • Share a spoiler-free card: the tier, the bar, the streak, never the letters. FRAGMENTS • Twenty tiles, each a chunk of a word. Tap tiles to join them and send. • Five of the day's words use exactly four tiles each. Those five are the board, shown as dots until you find them. • Every tile stays on the board for the next word, and anything else the dictionary knows counts as a bonus. • Stuck? A hint opens the first letter of one of the five. CHAIN • Twelve letters around a square, three to a side. Two letters in a row never come from the same side. • Every word after the first starts on the letter the last one ended with, and that letter is already picked for you. • Light all twelve to clear the board. Clear it in fewer words than par and you score more. • Stuck? A hint opens one letter more of a word that works than you have already typed. RUSH, DUEL AND CHILL • Rush: ninety seconds, one rack, a combo that climbs to x3 when your finds come fast. Best score and recent runs are kept. • Duel: send a seven-letter code and a friend gets your exact rack and ninety seconds. Their result comes back as won, tied or held. • Chill: a fresh rack with no clock, for the bus. DETAILS • A streak for each game, and a sweep badge on the day you finish all three. • Slang counts. Words like rizz, bussin and delulu earn a bonus, and you can switch them off for dictionary words only. • Tap any word you found for its definition, straight from the built-in dictionary. • A hint in every game but Rush and Duel, each for the same few points. On a rack it opens the first letter of a word you are missing. • An archive of past days for all three games, as practice. The last seven days are open to everyone, and a practice day never touches a streak. • Sound, haptics, a widget you can set to all three games or any one, an optional streak reminder, light and dark. • Start any game without opening the app: ask Siri, tap a Control Center button, use it from the Lock Screen or the Action button, or find it in Spotlight. All three are Shortcuts actions. • Game Center leaderboards, achievements and friend challenges on Rush or any daily, where only today's board counts. The dailies also open in Apple's Games app. • Works on iPhone and iPad. Every tile and control has a VoiceOver label, and every screen holds its shape at the largest accessibility text sizes. FREE, WITH ADS Wordslay is free to play with a small banner under the board, an ad now and then between rounds, and a short video you can choose to watch for a free hint in any game that has one. PLUS AND AD-FREE Wordslay Plus removes every ad, makes hints free in every game that has them, unlocks eight word craft lessons, and opens the whole archive back to the first daily: USD 9.99 per year or USD 1.99 per month. Ad-Free removes the ads only: USD 2.99 per year. Your local price is shown in the App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings.
