About Netherword: Daily Word Game
Swipe across touching letters to spell words. The clock is always draining — long words buy it back, and the longer the word, the more it pays. Every ten words, the world sinks a gate deeper. The light thins. The art changes. Time flows faster. Seven named places lie below the surface — the underroot, the echo vaults, the drowned archive — and past the seventh gate they're only numbered. Nobody has seen the bottom. THE DAILY CHALLENGE One board, the same for everyone, one attempt a day. Your score is your score. Miss a day and it's in the archive, waiting. PLAY ANY TIME A fresh board whenever you want it, in three sizes: small at 5×5, medium at 6×6, large at 7×7. The large board asks for four-letter words, the other two take three, and each size keeps its own leaderboard. TWENTY BOARDS Bone, ebony, sea glass, ruby, gold, gunmetal. Swipe through them on the menu and take one. Two are free; the rest come with the unlock. CASCADES The letters you spend fall away. Plan it right and the fall spells a word on its own, and pays you for it. Chain them for a multiplier. SPECIAL DAYS On holidays the board hides a dozen bonus words worth triple — only on the day itself. Now playable in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese — each with its own dictionary, letters, and special days. Game Center leaderboards and achievements. Your streaks and history sync across your devices through iCloud. A one-time purchase. No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. Nothing is collected about you.
