What it does

Free indie word game for iOS and iPadOS. It has no ads, and the only in app purchases are tips that unlock nothing! Build 5, 6, or 7 letter words around 2 “locked” letters. Find as many as you can. There are 3 game modes: Unlimited practice, Puzzle of the Day (same puzzle for all users everywhere), and Progressive—an untimed mode for when you want to slow down and really dig in.

In Wordaround, every puzzle starts with a twist: two anchor letters are fixed in random positions, and your job is to build as many words as you can around them. It's a simple constraint that creates a surprisingly deep challenge — one that rewards both vocabulary and creative thinking. **Puzzle of the Day** A new puzzle every day, with difficulty that builds through the week.

    Here’s a free, fun, novel five-letter word game for the web! It’s a game I originally wrote for the iPhone in 2010, but wasn’t able to finish before my first child was born. When I left my senior web developer job in September 2021 I figured I would postpone looking for work and finish the game before another 11 years passed, and expose myself to new skills doing it (in this case, Swift).

    I made a new daily word game for web and iOS which is a funky mix of scrabble and boggle. Each day everyone gets the same randomly generated configuration of bonus tiles and letters on a grid. The app is written completely in SwiftUI and the web port is written in ts/react. Both use the same random seeds each day.
