About Runi - Word Search
Word puzzles, but warm. Runi is a hand-crafted word-search and crossword game you pay for once and actually own. No ads. No logins. No subscriptions. Just 480 themed puzzles, a fresh daily every morning, and a cozy little wheel of letters to swipe through. THE WORD GAME YOU ACTUALLY OWN Other word games keep asking. Asking you to watch a video for a hint. Asking you to upgrade. Asking you to sign in. Runi asks once - $5.99 unlocks the whole game, forever. That's it. HOW IT PLAYS Every level is a word salad - 4 to 7 letters scrambled on a wheel at the bottom of the screen. Drag your finger across them to spell words. The words you find slot into a themed crossword above. Touch a tile twice in a row to reuse a letter. Hit detection is tuned so the wheel feels precise even on a fast swipe. The crossword is capped to stay phone-readable, never a wall of micro-text. 12 THEMED PACKS, 360 HAND-CURATED LEVELS Every crossword has a theme that holds it together. Forest, Ocean, Cosmos, Archive, Kitchen, Critters, Music, Body, Weather, Sport, Garden, Travel - 30 levels each, every target word on-theme. Bonus words pulled from a 4,675-word common-word dictionary so the surprises feel earned, not random. KIDS MODE, 6 PACKS, 120 LEVELS A separate kid-friendly mode with shorter wheels, simpler themes, and big-friendly tiles. Colors, Critters, Numbers, Playtime, Wheels, Yum. The first pack in each mode is free forever - try before you buy. A NEW DAILY EVERY MORNING One puzzle a day, free for everyone, generated fresh. Finish it for bonus hints. Build a streak. No notifications nagging you, no "come back" pop-ups - it's there when you want it. HINTS AND SKIPS, HANDLED FAIRLY Start with 10 hints and 3 skips. Refresh every 24 hours. Earn more by finding bonus words and clearing levels. No coin economy, no premium currency, no "watch an ad for a hint" - the loop is just play, earn, play. iCLOUD SYNC, PRIVATELY Progress, favourites, settings, wallet - all sync across your iPhone and iPad via your Apple ID. No account to create. No data sent to us. Apple's iCloud, your data, full stop. WHAT YOU GET WITH RUNI PRO - All 12 themed adult packs (360 puzzles) - All 6 kids packs (120 puzzles) - Every future pack we ship, included - No price increase for existing players, ever WHAT YOU GET FREE, FOREVER - The full Forest pack (30 puzzles) - The first kids pack - A fresh daily puzzle, every day - No ads. None. Not even a "watch to unlock" button. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No login. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking SDKs. No ads, so no ad networks. Runi doesn't know who you are and doesn't want to. Made small on purpose. Privacy policy: https://sararu.net/runi/privacy-policy.html Terms of use: https://sararu.net/runi/terms-of-use.html
