What is Wordsicle?
A free daily word game for iPhone. Twelve letter dice roll each day and you connect every tile into one interlocking crossword.
Is Wordsicle on Android?
Not yet. Wordsicle is on iPhone today and the Android version is in development. It shares the same daily roll, so once it lands your Android friends will solve the identical puzzle you do. Sign up below and we'll email you the day it launches.
Does everyone get the same puzzle?
Yes. At midnight UTC a single seeded roll goes out worldwide, so you're solving the exact same twelve dice as everyone else that day.
Is Wordsicle free?
Free to play, with one Daily Roll puzzle a day and unlimited Free Play puzzles whenever you want more. No account required.
How do streaks work?
Complete the Daily Roll to keep your streak alive. Play seven days running and you earn a streak shield, which your next solve after a missed day spends automatically to bridge the gap. Miss two in a row and it resets. The home screen keeps a quiet running tally of your last seven days, and once today's roll is solved it shows you the crossword you made of it.
What are badges?
Eighteen feats in four kinds, and once earned they are yours for good. Five ask something of a single board: a word of eight letters or more, all twelve dice inside a five by five square, four letters shared by two words, a board finished under Hard Mode without ever unlocking it, and one finished in under thirty seconds. Seven are for never missing a day: a full week up to a full year, a week of Hard Mode, and the day a shield covers a day you missed. Five just count Daily Rolls finished, whenever they fell, so a gap costs you nothing. And one, The Word Out, is for the first finished Daily Roll you share.
Does Wordsicle have a leaderboard?
Yes: every day has its own board. Solve the Daily Roll and you can join it under a name you pick; no account needed. Boards rank by score, with solve time only breaking ties, and a rolling 30-day board rewards consistency across the month.
What is Hard Mode?
An optional toggle. With it on, every word you score locks its dice in place: nothing you've already banked can be moved, so you plan the whole grid up front.
How is a puzzle scored?
Every die placed counts. Long words earn a bonus for each letter past the fourth, letters shared by two crossing words pay again, and a quick finish adds a speed bonus.
Go on.
Make your day.
One fresh puzzle. A little time for yourself.
