One Valid Word

A daily word game with exactly one answer.

Swap letters until the word clicks. Every puzzle is a word whose letters spell no other common word, so there's always exactly one right answer: you'll never find a perfectly good word only to have the game reject it.

EVERY DAY
• The Daily: a six-letter word, the same for everyone.
• The Daily Mini: a four-letter word for a quick win.
• Free Play: as many words as you like, from four to seven letters.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY
• Tap two letters to swap them, or drag one onto another.
• Double-tap a letter you're sure of to pin it in place.
• Every puzzle has a par: the fewest swaps that solve it. Can you match it?

ALSO ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Add a widget and play right on your Home Screen. Up Next covers the whole day: the Daily, then the Mini, then a fresh Free Play word whenever you have a minute. The widget and the app share one board, so you can start in one and finish in the other.

A STREAK THAT FORGIVES
Rest days cover a missed day on their own: you start with one and earn another every week you play. Missed yesterday? Your streak didn't.

HINTS YOU EARN
Stuck? Highlight shows the letters already in place, Reveal turns a tile over to show the letter that belongs there, and Swap points out two letters to trade. You earn hints by solving the dailies and keeping your streak. There's no hint shop.

SHARE YOUR SCORE, NEVER THE WORD
Send your result to friends: your moves against par, your streak, and never the answer, so nobody's puzzle is spoiled.

A QUIET CORNER OF YOUR PHONE
No ads, no coins, no timers. Reminders are off until you ask for them, and they ease off if you take a break. Your progress syncs through iCloud between your iPhone and iPad. Light and dark, VoiceOver and large text throughout.
