FAQ

Questions

Is every board possible to clear?

Yes. Each board is built backwards from a handful of everyday words, so a full clear always exists. You may find a different way.

What if I get stuck?

The daily board gives you three rewinds. Hints are earned: a 7-letter word, three stars on a level, or a daily streak. A hint lights the first stone of a word that still leaves a clear possible.

Which words count?

Any common English word of three letters or more from a list of about 40,000. Rude words are left out.

Does sharing spoil the puzzle?

No. The share grid shows only how long each word was, never the letters.

Is it free?

Yes. It plays in your browser, with no account and no ads.

Do I need to download anything?

No. BreakWord runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It is also part of the Break Puzzles app for iPhone, iPad and Android, coming soon.

Where is my progress saved?

On your device. There are no accounts.
