Root-Word
Cozy Word Search & Crossword
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Root Word is a calm, beautifully crafted word puzzle game designed to feel like flipping through a handmade puzzle book. No timers pressuring you. No blaring notifications. Just you, a relaxing moment, and a satisfying puzzle.
THREE PUZZLE TYPES
Word Search — drag your finger across letters to find hidden words.
Crossword — fill in answers guided by clues that teach you something new.
Word Wheel — arrange letters into every word you can find.
IMMERSIVE THEMES
Each theme has its own color palette, ambient background animation, and mood.
Wander between worlds like Ocean Breeze, Cozy Kitchen, Night Sky, Old Bookshop,
Japanese Garden, and more — each one a different place to settle into. New
themes are added regularly.
DAILY PUZZLES
A new challenge arrives every day. Your progress auto-saves, so you can pick
up right where you left off — even days later.
GROW YOUR FOREST
Every puzzle you complete helps a plant grow. Tend your collection until it
matures, and it earns a permanent place in your forest. Grow enough plants
and a real tree gets planted on your behalf.
WORD DEFINITIONS
Tap any word you find to learn what it means. Root Word is a puzzle game
that quietly makes you a little better with words.
EARN TITLES & ACHIEVEMENTS
Climb two parallel paths — one rewarding consistency, one rewarding mastery.
Each tier earns you a new title to wear.
MASTER EVERY DIFFICULTY
Earn stars by completing all three puzzle types at each difficulty level.
A small badge of pride for the puzzle-completionists.
HUNT FOR BONUS WORDS
Finish the word list and keep going — every puzzle hides extra words beyond
the main set, waiting for sharp eyes to find them.
Root Word is for anyone who loves word puzzles and needs a few relaxing minutes.
