Bring lost words back to a library at night.
WORDS BACK HOME is a word puzzle about restoring passages from literature. Join Shiori, a bookmark spirit, as you return words to blank books and bring their library back to life.
SLIDE LETTERS. FIND WORDS.
Slide rows and columns on a 6-by-6 board. Make words of 3 to 6 letters, reading left to right or top to bottom. Form a passage word using its gold Book letters to send it home. Restore all the Book letters to complete the passage.
TAKE YOUR TIME
There is no time limit, and you can undo as many moves as you need. If you want another challenge, try clearing the remaining letters too. Your board is saved so you can return later.
TWO LANGUAGES, TWO LIBRARIES
