About One Valid Word
A daily word game with exactly one answer. Swap letters until the word clicks. Every puzzle is a word whose letters spell no other common word, so there's always exactly one right answer: you'll never find a perfectly good word only to have the game reject it. EVERY DAY • The Daily: a six-letter word, the same for everyone. • The Daily Mini: a four-letter word for a quick win. • Free Play: as many words as you like, from four to seven letters. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Tap two letters to swap them, or drag one onto another. • Double-tap a letter you're sure of to pin it in place. • Every puzzle has a par: the fewest swaps that solve it. Can you match it? ALSO ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add a widget and play right on your Home Screen. Up Next covers the whole day: the Daily, then the Mini, then a fresh Free Play word whenever you have a minute. The widget and the app share one board, so you can start in one and finish in the other. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES Rest days cover a missed day on their own: you start with one and earn another every week you play. Missed yesterday? Your streak didn't. HINTS YOU EARN Stuck? Highlight shows the letters already in place, Reveal turns a tile over to show the letter that belongs there, and Swap points out two letters to trade. You earn hints by solving the dailies and keeping your streak. There's no hint shop. SHARE YOUR SCORE, NEVER THE WORD Send your result to friends: your moves against par, your streak, and never the answer, so nobody's puzzle is spoiled. A QUIET CORNER OF YOUR PHONE No ads, no coins, no timers. Reminders are off until you ask for them, and they ease off if you take a break. Your progress syncs through iCloud between your iPhone and iPad. Light and dark, VoiceOver and large text throughout. ONE VALID WORD PLUS A single, optional purchase, with no subscription: • The archive of every past Daily and Mini • Streak mending: solve a missed day within a week and it counts • Eight-letter Free Play • Two hints for every daily you solve, and a welcome gift of hints • Full par stats and a calendar of every word you've solved • Two more app icons Plus works with Family Sharing.
What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated October 24, 2026
• Sharing your result is tidier: your moves against par and your streak, with "with hints" spelt out when you used one. • Once today's dailies are solved, Up Next moves on to a fresh Free Play word instead of an old win.
