Word Bites: Deliciously Fun Five clues. Sixteen tiles. Every tile belongs to exactly one answer, and all sixteen get used. Word Bites is a word puzzle built out of pieces. Instead of typing letters, you snap syllable tiles together — PIC + TU + RES — until every clue on the board is solved. Nothing is left over, and nothing is missing. When the last tile lands, the puzzle is finished exactly. It's a quiet game. No timers, no lives, no energy meter waiting to refill, and no ads. Play one puzzle on a train platform or ten on the sofa. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap tiles to build a word, then check your answer • Tap a clue to pick up whatever a hint has already revealed • Shake the phone to shuffle the tiles • Stuck? A hint uncovers one piece of an unsolved answer — never the last one, so the solve is always yours 615 PUZZLES • 12 free packs to start — 200 levels, open from the beginning • 12 premium packs — 300 levels across Movies, Sports, History, Science, Art, Music, Technology, Geography, Literature, TV, Celebrities and Food • 8 bonus packs — 115 levels, earned rather than bought FREE HINTS EVERY DAY Open the game and collect a hint, every day. Three on your first day to get you going. Miss a day and nothing is taken away — the hints just keep coming when you come back. BONUS PACKS YOU EARN Every bonus pack asks for something different. Some open as you finish levels, some as the days you play add up, and some for a small favour. None of them cost anything. PLAYS ANYWHERE Every puzzle is on your device.
