Tide: Word Puzzle Game

The sea is the clock.

Slide your finger through neighbouring letters to make a word. Every word you make turns to stone — and stone never drowns. Build walls, shelter the sand behind them, and see what your beach looks like when the water finally wins.

ONE TIDE A DAY
Everyone in the world gets the same board. Two minutes. Compare today's reef with the one you built yesterday. Find the secret word of the day.

FOUR LANGUAGES, ONE GAME
Play in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian or English — or in Babel, where all four count. Words shared by two or more languages are Latin chains: they push the sea back and quietly teach you the language next door. (Watch out for false friends.)


WORLD RANKING
Your score in the daily tide goes into a world ranking under the name you choose. You can play without joining it: it is a choice, not a request.

MODES
• Today's Tide — the daily ritual, no rewarded ads, no shortcuts
• Open Sea — endless boards, your reef grows with every run
• Babel — all four languages on one beach
• Spring Tide — a twist every weekend: dark water, north wind, mirror, one vowel, verbs only

YOUR REEF
Every cell you save becomes reef: rock pool, coral, kelp forest, a wreck, the abyss. Fish hide behind words shared across languages. Water and stone skins, decorations, a pass per season.

YOUR NUMBERS
Tides played, words, cells saved, Latin chains, your streak and your longest word ever — plus your best by mode and the last 14 days of Today's Tide. Beat your longest-word record and the game tells you; at the end, the "It was on your beach" card shows the word you missed.

A FRESH BEACH
Textured sand and sea, words carved in stone, a counting score and sea foam when you set a record.

Free to play. Optional rewarded ads (pull the tide back, light up a word) — or tokens earned by playing. No purchases: everything is earned by playing or by watching an ad. No account, no energy, no pay-to-win.
