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.
