The Hardest
Read full descriptionHide full description
The hardest word games on the internet. Now in your pocket. Five original daily games. One puzzle each per day. No hints you didn't earn, no second chances you didn't deserve. MATCHSTICKS One word in the dark. Every guess tells you only how many letters match. Deduce the word before your matches burn out. GRIDLOCK Fill the mirror grid. One wrong letter locks you out for the day. INTERLOCK Find the four hidden groups. One wrong guess and you're out. That's not a typo. DOWN YOU GO A lost word game from 1951 television, revived. One phrase a day. Three misses and down you go. PINPAD Crack the vault code in six tries. Then challenge a friend to a head-to-head battle and crack it faster than they do. BUILT FOR STREAK PEOPLE Your streak is sacred. Play every day, keep the flame alive, and watch it climb through the tiers. Miss a day and live with it. CLIMB THE RANKS Global leaderboards for streaks, wins, and weekly play. A monthly championship crowns a champion every month. Everyone starts even on the 1st. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Add friends, compare records, and settle it head-to-head. Invite links make it easy to drag your smartest friend into the fire. TROPHIES Twenty-six trophies for the feats that matter. Some of them may take you a very long time. CLUB MEMBERSHIP Join the Club to unlock custom leagues, a gold member frame, and the Club badge.

Four new original puzzles every morning. Numora — a number between 1 and 1,000. Six hints narrow it down. Quintet — five scrambled words, one clock. Close Enough — one question a day where nobody knows the answer off the top of their head. How many golf balls would fill a school bus? Reason it out. Reckon — arithmetic in your head. Numbers appear, then vanish. Hold the running total. FRIENDS Finish all four and your day's total lands on one leaderboard with your friends — across every group chat at once. Powered by Game Center: add your people once, see them every day. WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO No advertising. No notifications. No accounts of ours. No analytics, no tracking. The only things it ever talks to are Apple's: your own iCloud, which quietly backs up your streaks where we cannot read them, and Game Center, if you choose the friends leaderboard. It still works perfectly on a plane — your scores just sync when you land. TYPEWRITER+ An optional subscription opens every past day's puzzles and unlimited practice on all four originals. $1.99 a month, or $9.99 a year. Today's four are free for everyone, forever.
