Counting Spaces

Counting Spaces is a feature rich word and number puzzle game that rewards patience and thinking. The rules take seconds to learn. The depth comes from how you use them.

Every round begins with a hidden word or number. You enter a guess, and two numbers come back. The first is how many unique characters you share with the answer. The second is how many are in the correct position. That is everything the game tells you. No colored tiles. No hints about individual letters. You reason from the counts.

Most puzzle apps throw visual noise at you. Tiles flashing colors, fireworks on every answer, dancing emoji. Counting Spaces goes the other direction. The board is quiet. The rows line up. Your eye finds what it needs without hunting. When the round ends, the answer appears with its definition, so you walk away knowing something new.

The game offers many ways to visualize the board by enabling, disabled, selecting and locking characters to help you in your own way.

Six difficulties cover every mood.

Casual - is for a coffee break. Unlimited turns, no clock, a real relaxing time.
Easy - sticks to short and familiar words with a cap of 20 turns.
Medium - moves up to words of middle length at the same turn limit.
Hard - brings in longer, less common words, still inside 20 turns.
Insane - gives you very long, rare words and only 15 turns to land them.
Obscura - is the weird tail of the dictionary. Unlimited turns. Built for curiosity more than challenge.

Counting Spaces has a very large dictionary and nearly every word with a definition waiting when the round ends. You can enable names and places if you want cities, countries, and names in the mix. Turn them off to keep it to standard dictionary words.

Number games use the same core mechanic with digit sequences. No dictionary to reason about. Only patterns and logic.

The design is minimal because a puzzle deserves room to breathe. One font. One accent color. Hold a letter to lock it when you are sure. Hold it again to release. Hold a committed letter on the board to rule it out across every row at once.

The vision of our game is to provide you with something that is yours. Pay once. There are no ads. No subscriptions. No modes hidden behind extra purchases. Every feature is available.

Our plan is to grow this app into a great puzzle game with something for everyone. More features and game modes are on the way!

If you enjoy puzzles that reward patience and reasoning, Counting Spaces is for you.
