How it plays

One finger. One stroke.
Every word a little victory.

  1. 1 · Swipe

    Trace the letters in one stroke

    Touch the first letter and sweep through the rest. Your trail glows blue while you swipe. Go straight across. Letters in between don't count against you.

  2. 2 · Found

    Lift, and watch it pop green

    Every hidden word has a friendly clue: “Opposite of more (4)”. Find it and the tiles bounce, one after another, with a chime that climbs as you go.

  3. 3 · Not quite

    Missed? No drama.

    If it's not a word on this board, the tiles give a little shake and you try again. No harsh buzzers, just “Not on this board”.

  4. 4 · Combo

    Chain words for a combo

    Keep finding words in a row and your combo climbs: ×2, ×3, ×5… Each one is worth more than the last. Spot the golden word for a sparkle bonus.

  5. 5 · Hint

    Stuck? Tap Hint.

    Get a new clue, the first letter, or the whole route. Hints are there to keep you moving, never to make you pay to continue.

Questions

Good to know

What is WordWiggle?

WordWiggle is a five-minute word game where you trace words in one swipe across a fixed board of letter tiles, and the letters don't have to touch. Find the hidden words on each board using short clues, build combos, and play a new Daily Challenge every day.

Do the letters have to be next to each other?

No, and that's the whole trick. Swipe straight from one letter to the next, even right across the board. Tiles you pass over on the way don't break your word.

How is WordWiggle different from Wordle or a word search?

In Wordle you guess one hidden word in six tries. In a word search you circle words written in straight lines of neighbouring letters. In WordWiggle you swipe a word in one stroke, the letters can be anywhere on the board, and each hidden word has a friendly clue. A board has several words, and you race your own combo, the clock in Blitz, or the world in the Daily Challenge.

Is WordWiggle free?

Yes, WordWiggle is free to play. There are optional extras like cosmetic looks and WordWiggle Plus, but you never need to pay to keep playing a board, and points can't be bought.

What is the Daily Challenge?

One board for everyone in the world, refreshed at midnight UTC. You get one ranked try, see where you rank, and can share your result as a spoiler-free grid.

Where can I play WordWiggle?

Coming soon to the App Store (iPhone and iPad) and Google Play (Android). You can play as a guest with no account, and it works offline.

Do I need an account?

No. You can play everything as a guest. Signing in is optional and only keeps your progress in sync across devices.

Can the whole family play?

The words are common and the clues are gentle, so families love playing the same board together. WordWiggle is a general-audience game, so younger children should play with a grown-up.

Where can I get help?
