PatchWord by Brainy Day
The daily word jigsaw
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A new grid every day: fifteen hidden theme words, fifteen pieces, one perfect fit. No timer, no typing — just you and the patch.
One grid. Fifteen hidden words. Fifteen pieces that fit exactly one way.
PatchWord is a daily word puzzle you solve with your hands instead of your keyboard. Every day brings a fresh 11x11 letter grid and a themed word list you never get to see. Each word winds through the grid along a path, and each path has a piece shaped to cover it — drag the pieces out of the tray and work out where they belong. Claim all fifteen and the patch is complete.
There is no timer and nothing to type. A puzzle is a thing to think about, not a thing to race.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Drag a piece from the tray onto the grid. One loose piece at a time — tap it to send it back to the tray, free of charge.
• The pieces tile the board exactly, so every piece you place narrows the rest.
• Hit Submit when you think a piece is home. Submit is final: a piece that is home locks and claims its word, and a piece that is not is lost for good. One miss and fifteen is out of reach for the day.
• Claimed words collect behind the Words button — tap one to light up the piece covering it.
• Give up reveals the whole solution and the word list, and marks the day Revealed rather than solved.
EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE
• One puzzle a day, the same puzzle for everyone.
• Streaks and solve stats, and an archive of recent days you can replay.
• Share your result as fifteen squares — green for claimed, red for lost. Never the grid, so nothing is spoiled for anyone.
• Sign in with Apple, sign in with email, or play as a guest. Your Brainy Day account carries your streak across devices.
