About this game

From the creator of SpellTower, comes a new and completely original word game!
Anagrams meets Word Search, with a sprinkle of Crosswords.

Typeshift is the modern anagram puzzle; re-imagined from the ground up, combining wordplay, modern game design, and a mobile-first approach.

In most anagram games, you search for new combinations within a single word, but in Typeshift, you search within three to five words stacked & scrambled up together.

Shift columns of letters up and down as you try to spell words in the center row. Play continues until you have used all letters in a puzzle at least once.

Special Clue Puzzles combine Crosswords with Anagrams as you match clever clues provided by Typeshift's various puzzle authors.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER

Typeshift continues my quest to re-imagine classic newspaper games in the digital era.
Where SpellTower tackled word search and Really Bad Chess handled chess puzzles, Typeshift re-examines Anagrams and Crosswords.

Typeshift has been a joy to develop, and I hope you have as much fun playing it as I had making it.
As always, thanks so much for your support!

Ratings and reviews

I have loved this game since I first found it period it used to be one of the best word games here. However, now I have to uninstall and reload at least once a week, and sometimes twice a day to try to play. Period I just hope somebody would take it seriously enough to fix it period I also wish it would start up harder and keep most of it at the level of Thursday through Sundays. I've downloaded at least twenty times today

Another Update: deleted the app. It's freezing too much on start up. UPDATE: Knocked it down to one star because now the app is crashing daily and I'm constantly resetting just to play. This sucks because I really love the game. Great when it works. I love the game and purchasing additional puzzles and hints are decently priced. However, the app freezes constantly on start up. It usually takes a couple opens and closes to actually get it working. Once it's working, it's fine.

The home page is difficult to navigate and not intuitive. The menu at the bottom and lists of clues for some puzzles get cut off at the bottom. It would be worth the developer's while to invest in some UX and usability tests across multiple device platforms to ensure this app works for everyone. The game seems fun and engaging, so it's a shame its bad design gets in the way.

What's new

Minor bug fixes and usability tweaks for newer devices.
