Nuwas Challenges — formerly Huroof Nuwas — is now a home for Arabic party games that bring family and friends together, with a fresh, playful new look. HUROOF (LETTERS) Two teams — Orange and Mint — battle over a board of twenty letters. Pick a letter, hit the buzzer, and answer a question whose answer starts with that letter. The first team to connect both sides of the board wins! • A fair, competitive buzzer: fastest answers first; a wrong answer opens a steal for the other team. • Answer with your voice: your answer is written as you speak. • A clear Arabic voice judge reads questions and announces results. • Game-show sound effects: ticking clock, buzzer, applause and more. GUESS THE PERSON Who's behind the card? Pick a letter and your secret person, ask yes/no questions about their looks, eliminate cards, and guess your rival's person before they guess yours — you get 3 guesses. • Play against Nawas, with a friend using a room code, or against a random opponent. • Every round introduces an inspiring person's story and achievement. POINTS & LEADERBOARDS Earn points with every win and compete on the global leaderboard or among your friends. PLAY WITH YOUR PEOPLE Invite friends with instant notifications, or join any open room and meet new rivals. FREE TO PLAY Free games every day, plus extra games earned with your winning points. An optional subscription unlocks unlimited play. Download Nuwas Challenges — because your gathering deserves a challenge!

Every row a word. Every column a word. One solution that fits. Fill the grid, guess the proverb hidden in pictures and crack linked crossword riddles on an island journey of word puzzles, in five languages. Wordwright is a word puzzle built on one rule: every row and every column must read as a real word. Your tray holds exactly the letters you need, no spares and no red herrings, and every classic board has exactly one valid answer, proven by a solver before it ships. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic grids: arrange letter tiles until every row and column is a word. Start at 4x4 and grow into 5x5 and 6x6 boards with blocked cells and tighter crossings. • Picture proverbs: a few pictures tell a well-known saying. Guess it and connect its letters. • Linked riddles: a crossword with a clue for every word. Solve each riddle and watch the answers lock together. AN ISLAND JOURNEY Follow a path of boards across the island. Puzzles come in packs of five that always end on a friendlier board, so you finish on a win, and surprise crossword and proverb stops appear along the way. HINTS THAT HELP WITHOUT SPOILING A hint reveals one letter, never a whole word. Restart is always free. A finished word turns green and a wrong one turns red, so you always know where you stand. A DAILY PUZZLE AND STREAKS A new board every day in each language, at the level you have earned. Keep your streak going, earn stars and watch your stats grow. FIVE LANGUAGES English, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish and Spanish, each with its own words, its own puzzles and its own saved progress. Arabic reads right to left. Switch language from Home or Settings without losing your place. PLAY OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT Every puzzle lives on your device. No sign-up, no login and no timer. FREE, WITH ADS Wordwright is free and supported by ads. The first ten boards have no ads at all, with unlimited hints and undo. After that each board gives you three free hints and two free undos, and optional rewarded videos add more, always offered beside a free alternative. There are no in-app purchases.
