Meet StillWords

The answer is in front of you. Twice.

Every puzzle starts with a riddle. Read it closely, turn it over in your head and settle on the word it points to. Then comes the second problem: finding that word among the letters.

StillWords won’t hurry you along. There’s no ticking clock, daily streak to protect or leaderboard insisting that someone called WordWizard92 solved it faster. Close the app halfway through; the puzzle can wait. Some wins leave you with something extra: a haiku, saved to your collection for later.

Sound is there if you want it: soft ambient music and rhythmic focus tracks. Prefer silence? Turn the whole lot off.

Stuck in your own head? The breathing exercise offers a brief reset before you return to the grid. A small feature, but a surprisingly useful one.

How it works

One puzzle, two small victories—and sometimes a haiku.

  • A poetic riddle displayed above a tranquil landscape.
    01

    Crack the riddle

    Each puzzle opens with a short, literary clue. The answer might arrive at once. More often, it needs a minute.

  • A letter grid waiting for the hidden answer to be discovered.
    02

    Hunt down the answer

    Now find that exact word in the letter grid. Trace it from the first letter to the last and the puzzle is yours.

  • A haiku earned as a reward and saved to the player’s collection.
    Reward

    Keep the haiku

    Some solved puzzles reveal a haiku. It joins your collection—something quieter, and rather nicer, than a victory badge.

Made to feel different

The rare puzzle game that leaves you alone.

  • No ads. Full stop.

    No banners squeezing the grid, no pop-ups breaking your train of thought and no videos to watch for another turn.

  • No clock to beat

    There are no timers, leaderboards or streaks. Spend thirty seconds on a puzzle or put it down until tomorrow.

  • Sound, if it helps

    Choose ambient music, try the rhythmic focus tracks or switch everything off. Silence is still a feature.

  • Take an actual breather

    A built-in breathing exercise gives your brain somewhere else to go when a clue has tied it in knots.

  • Works without a signal

    The puzzles stay playable on flights, trains and those corners of the world where the internet gives up.

  • Four languages

    Play in English, Dutch, German or Vietnamese. Pick whichever language makes the clues click.

  • iPhone, iPad & Mac

    Take a puzzle with you on iPhone, give it more room on iPad or settle in at your Mac. Premium also supports Apple Family Sharing.

  • Try 20 puzzles free

    The first 20 puzzles cost nothing. If it clicks, unlock the full collection with one purchase.
