Trace a continuous path through neighboring letter tiles, build words, rack up points and chase that perfect board. Easy to pick up, deeply satisfying to master, PolyWords turns a familiar word puzzle into a colorful journey built for quick games, long sessions and everything in between. Enjoy hours of free, uninterrupted fun with 930 achievement points to earn over 37 challenging achievements. FIND YOUR PATH Every word starts with a swipe. Link letters horizontally, vertically and diagonally as you search the board for your next word. Discover hidden solutions, uncover bonus words and keep your momentum going to build score-boosting combos. You can re-use letters in your path if you can make it back to them, potentially elevating your word count significantly! And because Campaign boards are freshly generated every time you play, replaying a level means solving a new puzzle - not memorizing the old one. 100 LEVELS. FIVE WORLDS. Travel through Meadow, Forest, Orchard, Highlands and Crystal Grove across a 100-level Campaign that gradually introduces new board shapes and tougher challenges. Earn up to three stars on every level, improve your best scores and see how far your vocabulary can carry you. A MODE FOR EVERY MOOD • Campaign - conquer 100 levels across five colorful worlds. • Finished a round early? Hit the menu and the 'Give Up' button, PolyWords will count your score anyway! • Daily Challenge - take on the same board as everyone else and see how your score stacks up. • Difficulty options are available for the Daily Board, the tougher your game, the better the reward. • Endless - forget the clock and keep searching until you’re ready to stop. • Slang - unlock a playful alternative packed with words like RIZZ, YEET, SUS, and more. • Three difficulty levels - from relaxed Casual play to the stricter challenge of Wordsmith. MORE THAN JUST THE OBVIOUS WORDS The board has hidden words to discover, but you’re free to find others too. Valid bonus words still score, rewarding experimentation and those satisfying “wait… does THAT work?” moments. Find words quickly enough and you’ll build combos for even bigger scores. PLAY. EARN. MAKE IT YOURS. Earn coins as you play, complete challenges and unlock achievements. Spend them on helpful powerups or personalize PolyWords with themes, tile styles, trails and celebrations. Special seasonal events bring distinctive limited-time themes that can transform the look and feel of the entire game - while never changing the rules or giving anyone a gameplay advantage. NO CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS PolyWords is designed to let you play. No banner ads across your game. No random ads between rounds. No surprise interruptions while you’re tracing a word. Rewarded ads are completely optional and appear only in the Shop when you choose to watch one for a clearly shown reward. YOUR WORD GAME, YOUR PACE Core gameplay works offline with no PolyWords account required. Jump in for a quick level, settle into an Endless board, or come back each day for a new challenge. Optional Game Center support adds leaderboards and achievements when you want to compete. PolyWords also includes VoiceOver support, colorblind-friendly palettes and reduced-motion options to make play comfortable for more people. Trace the letters. Find the words. Build your path.
