Only the current version so far — new entries appear as the game ships updates.
ByWord is a calm word game for quiet moments. Swipe letters around a circle to spell words and fill gentle, hand-checked crosswords — no timers, no lives, no pressure. You can never fail a level; you simply finish it.
FIND WORDS, FILL THE GRID
• Trace letters on the wheel to spell words
• Every level is a pre-built crossword with carefully chosen words
• Real words that don't fit the grid still count — they bank as bonus words
PAINT THE MURAL
Every level you solve paints a tile in the Mural — a growing mosaic that doubles as your level map. Pinch, zoom, and look back over everything you've solved. Over 1,000 levels, over 1,000 tiles, one picture only you can finish.
DRIFT
When you'd rather wander than solve, open Drift: an endless, gridless mode where every word you find adds a soft voice to a living, generative soundscape. No goals. Just words and sound.
