About Tidewords

Spell before the wave.

Tidewords is a fast, family-friendly word game with a tide. Pull letters from the sand and spell words before the wave rolls in and washes your tiles away. Every word you make buys you a few more seconds against the sea — so think quick, spell smart, and hold the tide back as long as you can.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Each wave rolls in fast. Spell a valid word to claim points and push the water back.
• Clear your word quota before the timer runs out, or the tide takes everything — loose tiles and all.
• The longer you survive, the faster the sea comes. How many waves can you hold?

PREFER NO PRESSURE? PLAY RELAXED
• Switch off the clock. In Relaxed mode the sea moves only when you do.
• Take all the time you want to find each word, and play at your own pace, wave after wave.
• Same beach, same tiles — none of the rush. The unhurried way to comb the sand.

POWER UP YOUR WORDS
• Grab life and time bonuses as they wash ashore.
• Play wildcard tiles as any letter to land your biggest, highest-scoring word yet.

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
• The Daily Challenge is the same puzzle for everyone, every day.
• Build a streak by coming back day after day.
• Share a quick, spoiler-free score with friends and see who held the tide longest.

NO NONSENSE
• No accounts, no sign-in — just open and play.
• No ads.
• Plays entirely on your device; your progress stays with you.
• Anonymous, aggregate usage stats only, on by default and easy to switch off in the stats screen.

Spell before the wave. Grab your tiles and beat the tide.

Spectacular. I've never seen such a game. I didn't play games before but now I'm addicted.
