Description

From the creator of SpellTower, comes a new and completely original word game!
Anagrams meets Word Search, with a sprinkle of Crosswords.

Typeshift is the modern anagram puzzle; re-imagined from the ground up, combining wordplay, modern game design, and a mobile-first approach.

In most anagram games, you search for new combinations within a single word, but in Typeshift, you search within three to five words stacked & scrambled up together.

Shift columns of letters up and down as you try to spell words in the center row. Play continues until you have used all letters in a puzzle at least once.

Special Clue Puzzles combine Crosswords with Anagrams as you match clever clues provided by Typeshift's various puzzle authors.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER

Typeshift continues my quest to re-imagine classic newspaper games in the digital era.
Where SpellTower tackled word search and Really Bad Chess handled chess puzzles, Typeshift re-examines Anagrams and Crosswords.

Typeshift has been a joy to develop, and I hope you have as much fun playing it as I had making it.
As always, thanks so much for your support!

Editors’ Notes

This mesmerising word game takes a winning idea—gameplay that resembles lockpicking—and runs with it. Sliding columns of letters up and down to form words is brain-teasing fun, and moving those dials feels genuinely good in a way we didn’t expect. We’re enjoying all the puzzles, but the ones with crossword-style clues really show off the quirky humour we adored in Zach Gage’s earlier games (like Ridiculous Fishing and Really Bad Chess).

Too American

Too many American (wrong!) spellings. In the clue puzzles there is way too much American knowledge needed. Altogether I’m not particularly impressed.
