A little word puzzle. A beach full of friends. Celebrate every win with dogs, dolphins, and bouncing beach balls.
Find a word. Start a beach party.
Solve a relaxed word puzzle, then watch your dogs and dolphins chase bouncing beach balls. No timer—take each guess at your own pace.
Each round hides two words that share no letters. Reveal the party word before all the dogs or all the dolphins leave. A letter in the splash word sends a dolphin swimming away; a letter in neither word sends a dog off to play.
PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE
There is no timer. Learn with a short guided practice round, then play whenever you like. Your current round is saved when you leave, and word puzzles work offline.
MAKE EVERY WIN A BEACH PARTY
Solve the word and watch your remaining friends run, swim, and play. Choose your beachball speed and adjust music, sound effects, and vibration in Settings.
KEEP YOUR STREAK GOING
Win each day to build a streak, see your progress on the calendar, and set an optional daily reminder. Optional Life Rings can protect eligible missed days.
Tides & Tails is free to play with banner ads. A one-time purchase removes all ads. Life Ring packs are separate, optional purchases. No game account is required.
