About Riffl - Word Puzzle
A new word puzzle every day. Two words, tangled into a single row of letters. Pull them apart, letter by letter, until both words come into focus. Two or three satisfying minutes of "aha." THE MECHANIC Two hidden words have been shuffled into one row. Each word's letters stay in the order you'd read them, so there's always a clean answer. Drag a letter to the blue or orange word to assign it. Watch both words build simultaneously in real time. Wrong guess? Clear the board and try again. Each clear costs one life; fewer lives used means a better score. No time pressure, just you and the letters. ONE PUZZLE A DAY Everyone gets the same puzzle. Compare scores with friends without spoiling the answer. Share your result as a spoiler-free emoji pattern — blue and orange dots that show how you split the letters, without revealing the words. A DAILY RITUAL Like your morning coffee. One puzzle. Two to three minutes. A satisfying "aha!" moment. Then come back tomorrow. YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED Riffl collects absolutely nothing.

What’s new
Version 1.8.2 · Updated September 25, 2026
A big polish pass on the same daily puzzle. Text now grows with your iPhone's text size, and the board fits smaller phones. Letters on colored tiles are easier to read in dark mode, in every theme. Finishing just after midnight keeps your streak, and a missed day now shows honestly. Giving up no longer counts as a solve. Hints never overfill a tray, and a full board that isn't right tells you what to do next. Better VoiceOver throughout, and Rif is a little kinder. Daily reminders now skip a day you've already played, and the widget shows when you revealed the answer. Best Time is free for everyone, practice shares say they're practice, and How to Play holds still when Reduce Motion is on.
