About Word Fever: Puzzles & Duels
Word Fever is a funky word arcade for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is not one word game but a dozen, including original modes you will not find anywhere else. No ads, no sign-up, no nonsense - just words. GAUNTLET - AN ORIGINAL WORD ROGUELIKE - Draw letters and play one word each round to beat a rising target - Then draft one of three Boons - double vowels, rare-letter bonuses, wild tiles, an extra rack slot, and more - that stack across your run - No board, no hidden word: build your own scoring engine and survive. A shared Daily Gauntlet gives everyone the same tiles. CHAIN LINK - A WORD-CHAIN DUEL - Take turns playing real words; each must START with the linked letters of the word before it - Four levels: Easy links one letter, Impossible links three - Public hints keep it friendly - and every pass reveals a word that was possible - Optional turn timer (15, 30, or 60 seconds), pass-and-play or over Wi-Fi CHAIN BATTLE - THE PHRASE-CHAIN RACE - A start word plus seven hidden words, where each pair reads as a common phrase: morning COFFEE, coffee CUP, cup CAKE - Only first letters show; the clock decides. Hints cost seconds. - Race solo, pass the device, or live over Wi-Fi on the same chain A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY - Daily Word - guess the day's word in six tries, at 4 to 7 letters - Daily Crossword - newspaper-style black-square grids at four difficulties - Daily Sudoku - four difficulties plus an endless on-device generator THE CLASSIC BOARD, YOUR WAY - Word tiles with premium squares, blanks, and the authentic challenge rule - Pass-and-play with 2 to 10 people, or Wi-Fi multiplayer - several players per device, combined into one game - A Warm-Up Bot that LEARNS as you play and levels up when you win - A 227,000-word built-in dictionary, so everything works fully offline MADE TO FEEL GOOD - A bold "Funky" design with light and dark mode and color themes - Game sounds and haptics; stats, achievements, and Game Center leaderboards - Adjustable text size and full VoiceOver accessibility - Progress syncs privately through your own iCloud - no account Word Fever is free, contains no advertising and no in-app purchases, and does not collect your personal data.
