Pencil: Arrowwords & Codewords

Arrowwords and codewords just like in your favourite puzzle magazine, on your phone and tablet. A new daily puzzle with a classic saying every day, help when you get stuck, and play without the internet.

What's inside
• 510 arrowwords (clues inside the grid) in three sizes: 6×8, 7×10 and big 9×12 ones to finish.
• 284 codewords: 11×11, 13×13 and 15×15. Every number stands for a letter, and you crack them with logic, not guesswork.
• Daily puzzle: new every day, with a calendar and a streak. Each one reveals a well-known saying for your collection.
• Every puzzle hides a word spelt out by the numbered squares.

Who is Pencil for
For everyone who loves the arrowwords in the paper or a puzzle magazine and wants them to hand: with the morning cuppa, on the train, in the waiting room or in the garden. The game is calm and easy to read, which is why many older players enjoy it too. A little brain training every day.

The puzzles
• Arrowwords: the clues sit right in the squares, and an arrow shows which way the answer goes. The letters in the numbered squares spell the hidden word.
• Codewords: numbers instead of clues. The same number is always the same letter. You start with a few letters and work out the rest step by step, like a logic puzzle.

Just like the magazines
• Clues in the squares, arrows showing the direction.
• Every answer is a real British English word, and the clues are carefully checked.
• British spelling throughout: colour, centre, theatre.
• The first puzzles are gentler, and short animations show you how to play.

Easy on the eyes and fingers
• Built-in keyboard.
• Pinch to zoom the grid.
• The clue for the current word sits at the bottom of the screen.
• Calm paper look and gentle sounds (can be switched off).

Help when you're stuck
• Reveal a letter, reveal a whole word or check for mistakes.
• You pay with coins earned by solving puzzles. You can also reveal a letter by watching an advert.
