Word Tack

A cozy word-sorting puzzle

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Word Tack 2.0: a fresh new look, sound packs that climb a note with every row you solve, 50 daily puzzles, and new ways to get unstuck. Sort scattered words into their hidden groups in Word Tack, a cozy word puzzle with a handmade feel: washi tape, typewriter labels and paper tiles that look cut out by hand. Every puzzle hides eight groups of five words. Drag tiles between rows, or tap two tiles to swap them. When a row holds all five words of a group, it’s sealed and its category is revealed. There’s no timer and no penalty for a wrong guess, so take your time. PLAY YOUR WAY • A growing campaign of handcrafted levels, from everyday categories to clever wordplay and real head-scratchers, with more added in updates • Every level is marked easy, medium or hard • A Daily Puzzle to play each day, with shareable emoji results and a streak to keep GENTLE HELP WHEN YOU’RE STUCK • Inklings link two words from the same group • Clues reveal the names of up to three groups • Solve a puzzle without help to earn all three stars MAKE THE DESK YOUR OWN • Earn stamps as you play • Spend them in the shop on washi tape, tile styles, row seals, desk backgrounds and confetti, including dazzling gold and holographic finishes MADE WITH CARE • Satisfying sounds, gentle haptics and a soft soundtrack, each with its own setting • Statistics, star ratings and daily streaks to track your progress • Works with VoiceOver: double-tap two cards to swap them, and hear when rows are solved and where each card sits on the board • A Reduce Motion setting for calmer play • No ads, no in-app purchases and no account needed. Works offline.

Word Tack 2.0 is our biggest update yet. A fresh look • A new home screen, with your next level, the daily puzzle and the shop pinned to the desk. • A new opening animation. • How to Play is now five short cards you can swipe through. Hear the game • Sound packs in the shop: Typewriter, Stationery Drawer, Music Box, Wind Chimes and Arcade, plus Golden Handbells and Starlight Celesta. • Rising rows: each row you solve plays a note higher than the last, so you can hear how far along you are. The free Paper sounds do this too. • Row seals each have a sound of their own. 50 daily puzzles • The daily puzzle now draws from 50 puzzles, up from 7. Never stuck for long • Up to three unsolved levels are open at once, and each keeps your board when you switch between them. • Pick up a tile before using an Inkling or a Clue to aim it at that word. • Hold a tile to look its word up in the dictionary. • See the finished board after you solve the last row. Better with VoiceOver • Move a card up or down a row from the Actions rotor. • Two-finger double-tap to hear the words that are left. • Look up any word from the Actions rotor. • Moved cards keep their place as you swipe through the board. • The last two rows read out their words, and the results wait until VoiceOver has finished. Also • Contact support from Settings. • Fixed cards that could be left out of place after an interrupted drag, and the Levels card being cut off at the top. Thank you to everyone who sent feedback, especially the AppleVis community!
