Knotwords for iOS and Mac is a clever new logic puzzle similar to crosswords but without the clues

Good Sodoku developers Zach Gage and Jack Schlesinger are back again today with the launch of a creative new game for iOS, Mac, Android, and PC. Knotwords offers an easy and simple logic puzzle experience that is both familiar and new.

The rules for Knotwords are straightforward, like a standard crossword puzzle, you need to place letters in each section so all the words are valid across and down.

But, Knotwords doesn’t give you the complete words to use in the puzzles. Instead, it places letters in different sections, but not necessarily in the right order.

By stripping away the clues Knotwords creates a more dynamic game that rewards puzzling out words based on the fundamental properties of spelling vs. primarily solving a trivia question.

While that might sound tricky at first, Knotwords is designed so that it becomes easier to solve the puzzle as you make progress. There is only one solution to each puzzle.

When Zach Gage describes Knotwords: “This game is what I have been trying to create my entire career. I am amazed Jack and me discovered this design. We hope you like it.”

Knotwords has no ads and is a free download for iOS and Mac, Android, and Steam with in-app purchases available to unlock additional puzzles, daily puzzles, themes, statistics, and more.
