Word Slide Puzzle: FiveByFive
Crossword tile brain teaser
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: stuck on a word? Hints now show you where a letter goes. Try the first 10 levels free — one purchase unlocks all 73, with no subscription.
Slide letter tiles around a 5×5 grid until every row and column spells a valid five-letter word matching its clue.
FiveByFive is a crossword you solve by rearranging tiles — no typing required. The first 10 levels are free to play, with a small cross-promotion ad on the menu screen; unlock all 73 with a one-time purchase to remove ads for good, with no subscription and no in-game currency.
HOW TO PLAY
• Drag tiles to rearrange letters in the 5×5 grid
• Each row and each column must form a real 5-letter word
• Read the across and down clues below the grid for hints
• Correct words lock in place and change color — keep going until the whole grid is solved
FEATURES
• 73 handcrafted puzzle levels with progressive unlock
• Clue system with across and down hints for every word
• Timer modes: play relaxed, speedrun with a count-up timer, or challenge yourself with a countdown
• Track personal best times and countdown streaks
• Per-level color themes plus customizable background families
• Visual feedback — tiles lock, colors shift, and celebrations when you complete a level
• Plays fully offline — no account, no internet required
• iCloud sync keeps your progress and purchase across your devices
• Accessibility support including Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion
FREE TO TRY
The first 10 levels are completely free, with a small ad on the menu screen. Love it? Unlock the full game with a one-time purchase — all 73 levels today, plus any future levels we add, and the ad is gone for good. No subscription, no in-game currency. Family Sharing supported — one purchase covers your household.
Start free with Level 1 — solve at your own pace, or race the clock.
NEW: Stuck on a word? Tap the hint button next to any clue to reveal where a letter belongs on the grid — you still drag the tile into place yourself. Each level gives you a hint budget (adjustable to 3, 5, or 7 in Settings).
IMPROVED
• Puzzles in progress now sync properly across your devices via iCloud, including hints you've already used
• Bigger, easier-to-tap hint buttons and clearer VoiceOver labels on the puzzle grid
• Settings and clue text stay fully readable at larger Dynamic Type sizes, no more clipped labels
Free players will occasionally see a small ad for another indie app on the menu screen. The one-time full-game unlock now removes it too, on top of unlocking all 73 levels.
