About Inchword

A calm word puzzle with a logic twist. Trace bending paths through a grid of letters to find the hidden words. Together they use every letter exactly once, and every puzzle has one answer.

A grid of letters hides a handful of words. Each one winds through touching tiles, turning corners as it goes, and together they use every letter exactly once. The boxes under the grid show how long each hidden word is, and every puzzle has exactly one answer, so you can always reason your way there.

How to play Inchword

1. Drag through touching letters to spell a word, or tap them one at a time.
2. Words bend round corners. They never jump over a gap and never cross.
3. A hidden word locks in with its own colour and fills its row of boxes.
4. A real word that is not one of the hidden ones costs a try. You get three.
