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

I absolutely loved this game - bought the full version and played it every day for months. I had a 170 day streak on the daily puzzles and was aiming for 365 days to get the achievement. Yesterday and today, the game wouldn't open (stuck at a blank blue screen - seems like they redesigned the landing screen and it screwed up the app for me). Phone reboot didn't work. So per the developer's recommendation online, I uninstalled/reinstalled.. and now all 27 weeks of work are gone. I'm so bummed :(

Had a bug, and it was fixed within the day. Devs are responsive, and cleared it up right away. The game is fun, and can be played for free. Although there are more puzzles available if you pay, you don't need to pay anything to play the free ones. No pretending it's free but limiting with extreme difficulty or energy or any of that. I'm enjoying it a lot. Thanks!

Edit: An update led me to lose my local data, so had to restart progress anew which was frustrating. Synching will be a plus to prevent this again. High battery use is still a problem. Updates are possibly released for word lists but the high battery use unfortunately remains ignored. I can only assume it will be akin to refactoring at this point since it's been so long. Other little things like incorrect keyboard size and input style behavior also pull the rating down for me.
