New: Labymel, the word maze whose leftover letters hide a riddle. Over 1,000 new words and livelier word search grids.
Mêliz is two cozy pastel letter games designed to help you unwind: classic word search, and Labymel, the word maze.
▸ WORD SEARCH
Find the hidden words by swiping your finger across the grid. A soft floating bubble follows your finger so you can always see what you're tracing. When you find a word, it lights up in mint green with a satisfying haptic tap.
▸ LABYMEL, THE NEW GAME
Here, every word on the list links into a single continuous chain, from the marked start to the circled finish letter. You trace each word square by square, horizontally and vertically, never diagonally. Words never cross and each letter is used only once — but there are dead ends, it's a maze.
And the letters you don't use, read in order, spell out a riddle: a mystery word and its definition, revealed once the chain is complete. The first word is given to get you going.
▸ A COZY DESIGN
A soothing pastel palette (powder pink, mint, lavender, peach, lemon) and silky animations for a calm, zen experience — on iPhone and iPad alike.
▸ 9 THEMES, 3 DIFFICULTIES
• Animals • Fruits • Countries • Sports • Colors • Jobs • Space • Music • Transport
Pick your challenge:
• Easy (8x8 grid) — perfect to get started or for kids
• Medium (12x12 grid) — a nice coffee break challenge
• Hard (15x15 grid) — reverse and diagonal words
▸ STORY MODE
Two campaigns at your own pace: 270 word search levels and 135 Labymel grids across 9 chapters. Coins and stars are shared between both.
▸ DAILY CHALLENGE
One grid a day, alternating between word search and Labymel. Both keep your streak alive.
▸ FEATURES
• Swipe to circle words
• Floating preview bubble that follows your finger
• Subtle haptic feedback on every find
• Pastel confetti on victory
• Adaptive dark mode for evenings
• Left-handed mode
• Timer and high-score history
• Bilingual French / English
• Optimized for iPhone and iPad
▸ A MOMENT FOR YOURSELF
No stressful timers, no hidden purchases. A light interstitial ad pops in once in a while to support development, and you can choose to watch a bonus ad to reveal a letter when you're stuck. Otherwise it's just you, letters, and a touch of softness.
▸ OVER 2,000 WORDS
A wide and varied word bank in both English and French — every game is different, and repeats from one grid to the next are rare.
Download Mêliz and treat yourself to a cocooning moment, wherever you are.
A big update: Mêliz now has a second game.
Labymel, the word maze
Every word on the list links into a single continuous chain, from the start to the circled finish letter. You trace square by square, horizontally and vertically, never diagonally — and there are dead ends. The leftover letters, read in order, spell out a riddle: a mystery word and its definition, revealed once the chain is complete.
Labymel is available in story mode (9 chapters, 135 grids), free play and the daily challenge.
Over 1,000 new words
All 9 themes have nearly doubled their vocabulary, in both English and French. Far fewer repeats from one grid to the next.
Livelier word search grids
Words now cross each other by sharing letters, and spread across every allowed direction.
Reorganized story mode
A submenu lets you pick between the Word Search campaign (270 levels) and the Labymel campaign (135 grids). Coins and stars are still shared between both.
Daily challenge
It now alternates between word search and Labymel every other day, and both keep your streak going.
Thanks for playing Mêliz!
