Align
Read full descriptionHide full description
Align is a calm yet brain-teasing word puzzle. You slide scrambled letters to line up a hidden word; it looks simple, but it's hard to put down. Every level gives you a 5x5 grid of scrambled letters and one hidden target word. Slide the rows and columns until the letters line up in a straight line — and the word clicks into place on its own. It's easy to learn, hard to master. The strips wrap around, so a letter that slides off one edge reappears on the other. The real challenge is solving each puzzle in the fewest possible moves to earn three stars. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - Pure sliding gameplay: no typing, no timers, just smart moves - Line words up horizontally or vertically; the grid detects your win automatically - Hundreds of hand-crafted levels with a smooth difficulty curve - Chase a perfect score: fewer moves means more stars - Relaxing, one-handed play for any spare moment - Clean, minimalist design that's easy on the eyes PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Pick the language of the words separately from the app's interface. Train your vocabulary in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese or Swedish. A gentle daily brain workout that sharpens your spelling, vocabulary and problem-solving, one slide at a time. Slide. Align. Solve.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Align at none against Circuit Crawl's 3. Circuit Crawl's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
