Runi - Word Search
Daily word salad crossword
Free · In‑App Purchases
Runi now includes Romanian: connect letters, solve themed word grids, find bonus words for extra hints, and play a fresh daily puzzle. No ads.
Word puzzles, but warm. Runi is a hand-crafted word-search and crossword game you pay for once and actually own. No ads. No logins. No subscriptions. Just 480 themed puzzles, a fresh daily every morning, and a cozy little wheel of letters to swipe through.
THE WORD GAME YOU ACTUALLY OWN
Other word games keep asking. Asking you to watch a video for a hint. Asking you to upgrade. Asking you to sign in. Runi asks once - $5.99 unlocks the whole game, forever. That's it.
HOW IT PLAYS
Every level is a word salad - 4 to 7 letters scrambled on a wheel at the bottom of the screen. Drag your finger across them to spell words. The words you find slot into a themed crossword above. Touch a tile twice in a row to reuse a letter. Hit detection is tuned so the wheel feels precise even on a fast swipe. The crossword is capped to stay phone-readable, never a wall of micro-text.
12 THEMED PACKS, 360 HAND-CURATED LEVELS
Every crossword has a theme that holds it together. Forest, Ocean, Cosmos, Archive, Kitchen, Critters, Music, Body, Weather, Sport, Garden, Travel - 30 levels each, every target word on-theme. Bonus words pulled from a 4,675-word common-word dictionary so the surprises feel earned, not random.
KIDS MODE, 6 PACKS, 120 LEVELS
A separate kid-friendly mode with shorter wheels, simpler themes, and big-friendly tiles. Colors, Critters, Numbers, Playtime, Wheels, Yum. The first pack in each mode is free forever - try before you buy.
A NEW DAILY EVERY MORNING
One puzzle a day, free for everyone, generated fresh. Finish it for bonus hints. Build a streak. No notifications nagging you, no "come back" pop-ups - it's there when you want it.
HINTS AND SKIPS, HANDLED FAIRLY
Start with 10 hints and 3 skips. Refresh every 24 hours. Earn more by finding bonus words and clearing levels. No coin economy, no premium currency, no "watch an ad for a hint" - the loop is just play, earn, play.
iCLOUD SYNC, PRIVATELY
Progress, favourites, settings, wallet - all sync across your iPhone and iPad via your Apple ID. No account to create. No data sent to us. Apple's iCloud, your data, full stop.
