Knight Hop: Word Puzzle

Daily brain teaser & letters

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Find the hidden eight-letter word by hopping across the board like a chess knight! Knight Hop is an addictive word puzzle based on the classic final round of a well-known TV quiz. Eight letters are scattered on the outer squares of a 3×3 board. By making a knight's move each time, an L-shaped hop, you slowly read out the word. The catch: you don't know which letter is the start, or which way the path goes. Working that out is the puzzle. HOW TO PLAY • Tap the letter you think comes first • Tap or swipe along the path; only valid knight's moves light up • Go all the way around until the eight-letter word appears • The clock counts up; solve it as fast as you can DAILY PUZZLE • One new word every day, the same for every player • A single attempt, so make it count • Compare your time on the daily Game Center leaderboard FEATURES • Plays in portrait on iPhone and any orientation on iPad • Polished sound effects and haptics, each with its own on/off switch • Track your results: solved, time and your solving streak • Achievements for fast solves and solving milestones • Fully localized in Dutch, German and English • Quick rounds you can pick up anytime Perfect for training your vocabulary and speed, or simply giving your brain a proper workout.
