Solve words. Grow wise. WordSavia is a relaxing word puzzle game where every word you solve teaches you real English. Connect letters, fill the crossword grid, and watch your vocabulary grow — one calm level at a time. Savia (say it SAH-vee-ah) is Spanish for the sap that rises inside a tree — the quiet life that turns a seed into a sapling, and a sapling into a tree. In Italian, the same word means "wise". In WordSavia, every word you solve is fed by that sap: it takes root as a seed, grows into a sapling and becomes a tree you'll keep — while Tüylü, a small wise owl, watches it grow. A WORD GAME THAT ACTUALLY TEACHES Most word games end when the puzzle does. WordSavia doesn't. Every word you build turns into a discovery card with its meaning, pronunciation and an example — then comes back later, right around the time you'd normally forget it. That's spaced repetition, quietly built into a puzzle game. Meanings appear in your own language. Choose from nine: English, Türkçe, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia, Tiếng Việt. WHAT'S INSIDE • Journey — themed chapters through a forest at dusk: forest clearings, mountain passes, mystic caves, sunny valleys. Puzzles adapt to how you actually play, so levels stay interesting instead of turning into a wall. • Daily Challenge — one fresh puzzle every day, the same one for everyone. Gentle on Monday, demanding by Sunday. • Your Growing Words — every word you've learned in one place, sorted by CEFR level (A1 to B2), searchable, with audio pronunciation and a favorites list. • Quests — daily and weekly goals with chest rewards. • Streaks — a small daily rhythm worth keeping. • Hints — stuck on a word? Reveal its meaning, one letter, or the whole thing. MADE TO BE CALM No timers. No lives. No "you failed" screens. WordSavia is built for the ten quiet minutes before bed or while you wait for a train: a warm dusk forest, soft golden light, and a small owl who is glad you came back. WORKS OFFLINE Everything runs on your device. No signal underground? Your words are still there. Sign in only if you want a cloud backup of your progress — it is never required to play. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS WordSavia is free to play and supported by ads. There is no subscription, and there is nothing you have to buy to finish a level. Over 1,200 hand-picked English words. Endless levels. One word at a time.

A phone is a silent witness. It remembers what its owner never told anyone. Now it's on your desk, locked. The case is yours. You're the new detective. Every case comes with a phone: the victim's, the missing person's, a suspect's or a witness's. The truth is in there, scattered. No one will tell you what matters. OPEN THE PHONE Messages, photos, voice notes, notes, emails, call logs, map history, bank transactions. You browse it like a real phone, and every app holds a piece of its owner's life. Some doors are locked: work out the passcode from the evidence, or plug in the code cracker and wait. QUESTION THEM Text the people in the case. Each has a voice, a secret and a lie of their own. Their replies are voiced by AI, but the truth of the case is fixed: no one confesses to something you haven't found. When you catch a lie, put the evidence in front of them. With Premium, call a character and question them with your own voice. WORK THE EVIDENCE In the lab, enhance a photo, isolate a voice in the background, recover deleted data, pull cell tower records. Pin the evidence to the board and pull the red string between two pieces. MAKE THE ACCUSATION You choose the suspect, the motive and the evidence. When the case closes, you see how it really happened, step by step: what you found and what you missed. A wrong accusation stays on your record. TRAILER AND FINALE Every case opens with a cinematic trailer. Find the truth and you get to watch the finale. THE CASES Murder, missing persons, fraud, blackmail, theft, cybercrime. Every case stands alone, from one-evening files to investigations that take hours. The stories are set across Türkiye, from Istanbul to Cappadocia. • Sixteen people boarded the balloon. Fifteen got off. • The killer reported himself at 3:12 a.m. He can't remember what he ate yesterday. • The key is in his pocket, the garage is locked. The 45-year-old car is gone. • For eight months he said good morning every day. She never once saw his face. New cases arrive without an app update. YOUR RECORD You start as a junior inspector. Rank goes to those who solve well, not to those who play the most. Monthly leagues, daily orders and badges. FAIR PLAY Purchases sell time and content, never answers. No purchase unlocks evidence or reveals the culprit. 18+ Tanik is a crime game for adults. It contains violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, sexual themes and strong language. Every case has spoiler-free content warnings. You can reduce jump scares and hide 18+ cases. A support note appears after cases with heavy themes. All cases are fiction. People, organizations, numbers and events are imaginary; any resemblance to reality is coincidental. Cases are written and voiced in Turkish. The interface is available in English and Turkish. What you type in interrogations and say in voice calls is sent to AI providers to generate replies. We ask for your permission before first use, and you can withdraw it in Settings. IN-APP PURCHASES Some cases and features require in-app purchases: a Premium subscription and credit packs. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://weareajans.com/tanik/kosullar/ Privacy Policy: https://weareajans.com/tanik/gizlilik/
