Playing
What are the tiers?
Easy is a 7×8 board with 8 words, two of them already placed. Medium is 9×10 with 12 words and one placed. Hard is 11×14 with 22 words, none placed, and one long word of nine letters or more to work outward from. Expert is a dense 11×11 where every letter belongs to an across word and a down word at once, so the crossings fill each other in.
What is Today's Twist?
Four new boards every day, one per tier, Expert included. Solve any one of them to keep your streak going. Today and the two days before it are free for everyone; the rest of the month is $0.99 or part of the Everything Pass.
Can I turn the sounds off?
Yes. Open the You tab and switch off Sounds.
Seasons
How do seasonal worlds work?
Each season opens a limited-time world. While it's open, it's free to play, except Expert boards, and scores double points. After it closes, it's $0.99 or part of the Everything Pass. A fresh edition returns the next year.
How do I change the app icon?
Open the You tab and pick one under App icon. Each seasonal icon unlocks after your first puzzle in that world.
Purchases and progress
What do I get for free?
Meadow and Tide Pools are yours from the start, all four tiers. So is the current day of Today’s Twist and the two days before it, and every seasonal world while its season is open, apart from its Expert boards. Everything else is $0.99 a world or a month, and the Everything Pass covers all of it, present and future, for a single purchase.
