About this game

Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle — with words.

The rules are simple: arrange the letters in each section so every word is valid, across and down.

Each puzzle may seem difficult at first — but like all my favorite newspaper puzzles, it gets easier as you progress. Each step guides you naturally towards the solution.

This is the kind of game I've been trying to make my whole career — I'm amazed Jack and I discovered this design. We hope you like it.

Ratings and reviews

Newest: Wowow, this update was worth the wait since they now include an option to see how my solution differed from theirs 👏 | New: HOUSTON, WE HAVE MONTHLY PUZZLES AGAIN! Thank you team. | Old: I submitted a support ticket over email on Jan 8. No response yet. | Original: A very good word puzzle app with a clean yet effective design and has enough challenging puzzles to want to maintain my streak.

New update finally letting me play January puzzles (half a month late!) and the lag seems to have gone. Like the game, I like that I could just get the unlocked version outside of a monthly subscription. The way the app chooses which cell the next letter goes into seems random and super annoying.

The game is fun and provides some nice puzzles. It is a bit clunky with technical glitches and requires a lot of taps to select the right spot. Limited game modes means it feels a bit stale, and themed play is only in monthly puzzles and repeat frequently. I had a 3 month streak of dailies, but latest bug with monthly puzzles being broken made me realize I wasn't having a lot of fun anymore. Would reinstall later if more modes or themes are introduced and some of the bugs and clunkiness fixed
