About Wordaround - Daily Word Puzzle
Two letters are locked in place. The rest are up to you. In Wordaround, every puzzle starts with a twist: two anchor letters are fixed in random positions, and your job is to build as many words as you can around them. It's a simple constraint that creates a surprisingly deep challenge — one that rewards both vocabulary and creative thinking. **Puzzle of the Day** A new puzzle every day, with difficulty that builds through the week. Monday eases you in with five-letter words. By Friday, you're tackling seven. Compare your results with friends — no spoilers, just scores. **Practice Mode** Play at your own pace with unlimited puzzles. Choose your word length, and sharpen your skills without the clock or the pressure. **Progressive Mode** The anchor letters stay the same, but their positions shift after each round. Difficulty ramps up naturally as the easy configurations give way to trickier ones. How far can you go? **Designed to feel good** Wordaround is built to be a calm, satisfying experience. Subtle sound design, responsive haptics, and smooth animations make every letter placement feel tactile. Choose a Vibe — a combination of theme and background music — that fits your mood, or play in silence. It's your call. **No ads. No gimmicks.** Just a thoughtfully crafted word game from an independent developer. - Three game modes with distinct play styles - Daily puzzles synced worldwide - Comprehensive word list with thousands of valid words - Customizable Vibes with themes and music - Haptic feedback and polished sound design - iPhone and iPad support
