Fireside Words: Word Game

Fireside Words is a classic word game by a warm fire in a mountain cabin: build crossword-style words on a 15 × 15 board, use the bonus squares and beat four cozy AI opponents. Knitted blankets, an oak mantel, matchbox buttons and glowing embers set the mood. Play at your own pace, with no timers and no internet needed, on big letter tiles that are easy to read.

HOW TO PLAY
• Make words on the board with your seven letter tiles, crossword style
• Letter and word bonus squares multiply your points; using all seven tiles in one move earns +40
• Drag a tile onto a square, or tap the tile and then the square
• Zoom the board with two fingers whenever you like; it never zooms on its own
• Blank tiles can be any letter; swap tiles or pass when you are stuck
• A word that is not in the dictionary costs nothing: just try another one

FOUR AI OPPONENTS, FROM EASY TO MASTER
Play a word game against the computer, one cozy character at a time: Mia the kitten (Easy), Rufus the fox (Medium), Bruno the bear (Hard) and Professor Hoot the owl (Master). They are clearly marked as AI characters, never presented as real people. Beat each one for the first time to earn their badge. You can keep a game going with each of them, and every move is saved.

FAIR TILES YOU CAN VERIFY
Every game starts from a sealed bag. Its seal, a SHA-256 fingerprint, is shown when the game begins; the seed is revealed when it ends, so the bag can be checked on the "How is it fair?" screen. Your opponent draws from the same bag, never sees your letters and never knows which tiles come next.

THE DAILY PUZZLE
Every day, everyone gets the same board and the same seven letters. Find the highest-scoring move, try as often as you like and keep your daily streak going.

A REASON TO COME BACK
• Three daily missions, with a bonus for finishing all three
• Levels and XP, win streaks and detailed statistics
• Board themes: the cozy Winter evening, the bright Seaside café and Warm home, which unlocks as you level up
• Halloween, October 23 – November 3: finish a game and keep the Harvest night theme forever
• At most one reminder a day, and only if you want it

EASY ON THE EYES
Big letter tiles you can make even bigger with the Large letters setting, a bright theme with black letters on white tiles, a board you can zoom and a calm acoustic soundtrack. More than 170,000 English words in the dictionary. Plays offline, no Wi-Fi needed.

NO FORCED ADS
Videos play only when you choose a reward: the score preview or the tile tracker for 24 hours, a word hint, double XP, saving your streak, a new mission or trying a theme for 24 hours. Without an internet connection there are no videos and no rewards. A small banner sits at the bottom in its own space and never covers the board; no interstitials. Free to play.

FAIR, OPTIONAL PURCHASES
• Remove ads (one-time): the banner disappears and every video reward is granted instantly, without watching
• Support the developer: optional tips that unlock nothing but a small thank-you badge
Nothing is pay-to-win: every opponent plays from the same sealed bag.
