Wordaround for iOS

A word game with a new spin

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.

There's no figuring out who to play, and each game is only 90 seconds long. The backend is 2,400 lines (so short!) of Erlang which speaks a custom protocol (length tagged JSON packets) to the client.
