About this game

Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle — with words.

The rules are simple: arrange the letters in each section so every word is valid, across and down.

Each puzzle may seem difficult at first — but like all my favorite newspaper puzzles, it gets easier as you progress. Each step guides you naturally towards the solution.

This is the kind of game I've been trying to make my whole career — I'm amazed Jack and I discovered this design. We hope you like it.

Puzzles themselves are pretty fun and can be challenging sometimes. Performance of the app itself is quite frankly terrible. I haven't been playing for even a year but the amount of freezing and loading times (whenever trying to navigate menus or open a game) have only gotten worse the more I've played, and now I can't even play without making sure to close all my background apps first (if I have Spotify open in the background, Spotify will crash within 3 minutes nowadays.)

Fun, but needs some tweaks – I find the games are often too reliant on making words plural just to make them longer. On some occasions in smaller puzzles, you can find two of the same word, only one is plural. In addition, the game is sometimes slow to respond to input, and sometimes leaves me with a black screen I am unable to nagivate away from. I enjoy this game, but the slowness is becoming a big issue.

The game is fun and provides some nice puzzles. It is a bit clunky with technical glitches and requires a lot of taps to select the right spot. Limited game modes means it feels a bit stale, and themed play is only in monthly puzzles and repeat frequently. I had a 3 month streak of dailies, but latest bug with monthly puzzles being broken made me realize I wasn't having a lot of fun anymore. Would reinstall later if more modes or themes are introduced and some of the bugs and clunkiness fixed
