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. ## **What's inside ** - 2,000 puzzles, from two words on nine tiles to seven words on thirty-six, and more after that - A new Daily Inchword every day, bigger toward the weekend, with a streak and a result you can share without spoiling it - Everyday words as answers, and exactly one answer to every puzzle - Three tries per puzzle: only a real word that is not hidden costs one - Large text and screen reader support - Light and dark mode, sound and haptics, plays offline, no account needed ## **Inchword screenshots ** - - - - - - ## **Inchword questions ** ## **More games like Inchword** ![Quilt Cut banner](https://nytegames.com/images/games/quilt-cut/banner-light.webp) **Quilt Cut** **Cozy grid logic, one solution** A cozy rectangle puzzle.
