— The idea

One connected run, not one disposable board.

You get ten guesses to spend across three connected five-letter words. Clear one and some of its letters lock into place as anchors in the next, so the chain carries forward. It's word deduction without a clock, and it plays the same on iPhone and iPad.

A short run you can finish in a sitting — and no guilt on the days you skip it.

— The features

What's in the app.

  • A daily relay, every day — with streaks for the consistent.
  • Fifteen bundled practice drills — none of them touch your streak.
  • A notebook of your last thirty runs — unlock the full archive once, for $4.99.
  • Anchors that carry forward — clear a word and its locked letters seed the next.
  • Offline by design — no accounts, quiet by default.
  • Hardware-keyboard play on iPad — type your run without lifting a hand.
— Built to be read by everyone

Color never works alone.

Every tile state carries a shape as well as a color, so meaning never depends on color alone — plus three colorblind-friendly palettes tuned for protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia.

  • Full VoiceOver labels on every tile, key, and control.
  • Dynamic Type to the largest sizes, with the board reflowing to a single vertical column.
  • Reduce Motion trades springs for quiet crossfades.
  • Forty-four-point touch targets throughout.
