About this game

Words in Water is a quote puzzle. Each word of a famous quote sits inside a glowing drop of water. Drag the right drops together and the quote comes back.

It is a word puzzle, but you are not hunting for letters. You unscramble a whole quote and put the words back in the order they belong in.

Most word games give you flat tiles. This one gives you water. Drag a drop and it stretches and wobbles behind your finger. The right two words lean toward each other and pull into one bigger drop. The wrong two flatten, shiver and push apart.

How to play

1. A quote is scrambled into drops, one word in each drop.
2. Work out which word the quote starts with, and drag it onto the word after it.
3. Keep adding the next word until one drop holds the whole quote.
4. The quote appears with its author, and a line saying what it means.

Two ways to play the same quote puzzle

Classic. Build the quote from its first word, one word at a time.

Thread. Press the word you think comes first, then drag through the rest without lifting your finger. One guess for the whole quote. Much harder.

What is in it

- 723 quotes, three words long up to ten. Inspirational and motivational quotes, old proverbs and sayings, and a lot of plain wisdom. 132 carry a name, including Einstein, Aristotle, Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde.
- Every quote is explained. Solve one and a short line tells you in plain English what it means. All 723 of them.
- Keep the lines that stay with you. Tap the heart on a quote and it goes to a shelf of your own to read again.
- Eight lengths: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Master, Champion, Genius and Legend. The last three open up as you solve more.
- No timer, no lives, nothing to lose. Sit on one quote for an hour if you like.
- Plays offline. The puzzles need no internet and no wifi.
- A weekly leaderboard and an all time leaderboard, under any name you pick.
- Five hints every day, at no cost.
- Five color themes for the pool.

About the look

This is the part we put the most time into, and the main reason to pick this over another word game.

The board is a dark pool. The drops glow from the inside, bend the light behind them, and throw a soft color onto the surface underneath. It is drawn live, and it moves the way water moves. It is relaxing to watch as much as to solve.

Turn the sound on and hold the phone close. There is quiet music with water under it, and two drops joining is a satisfying thing to feel. If you like ASMR videos, this is an ASMR game you get to play. Open ours before you settle on a different quote game.

The weekly contest

Every quote you solve earns points, and the long ones are worth more. Finish a week at the top of the weekly board and you keep one of the paid themes forever. Win the next week and pick another. There is no limit on that.

Who it is for

Anyone who likes quotes and proverbs, and anyone who wants a calm word game with no clock running. Plenty of people keep a quotes app and only ever read it. This is the same writing with something to do. It suits a coffee break, a bus ride with no signal, or ten minutes before bed. It is made for adults and older teens, not for small children. People call this sort of thing a brain game, and it does ask something of your memory and your vocabulary, but that is a side effect, not the point.

Straight answers

Every word puzzle in the game is free to play. There are ads between puzzles and one purchase takes them away for good. Extra hints come from a short video, or you can buy them.

We do not ask for an account, an email or a sign in, not even for the leaderboard. You pick a name, and that is all we know about you.

Words in Water is a quote puzzle made by a small independent studio. If something breaks, or you have an idea, or there is a quote that belongs in here, write to us. We read every message.
