Kelimece: Word Hunt Puzzle

Swipe the letters, find the word — you have 2.5 minutes.

Kelimece turns classic word hunting into synchronised 2.5-minute rounds where everyone plays the SAME board at the SAME time. A round ends, a 15-second breather follows, a fresh board arrives. Time is equal for everyone; your vocabulary is the only difference.

HOW TO PLAY

• Drag your finger across neighbouring letters on a 5×5 (25-tile) board — diagonals count
• Valid words of three letters or more score
• Score = letter points × multipliers + a length bonus. The bonus starts at +5 for four letters and climbs to +50 at eight or more
• Every board randomly places two 2× letter tiles, one 3× letter tile and one 2× word tile; gold badges multiply a letter, the purple square multiplies the whole word
• You can rotate the board 90 degrees — the same letters show completely different words from another angle

THE BEST PART COMES AFTER THE ROUND

The results screen lays every word on the board out in three tabs: the ones you found, the ones you missed, and all of them. Tap any word to read its meaning — English definitions come from an open dictionary service, Turkish ones from the official TDK dictionary (this part needs a connection). Seeing what you missed is where this game actually teaches you something. The longest words of the round are listed too.

TWO MODES, TWO MOODS

• Tournament — the same board as everyone, 2.5 minutes, leaderboards and daily streaks. Rounds are aligned to server time, so you join the right round even if your phone's clock has drifted
• Free Play — no clock, no leaderboard, no pressure. A fresh board every time you enter, for as long as you like. Perfect for practice, and it works with no connection at all

LEADERBOARDS AND STREAKS

Daily, weekly and monthly leaderboards are kept, and they are split by language: play in English and you compete on the English table. What counts is your best score in a SINGLE round during that period — playing well beats playing often. There are no bots, no fake rivals and no padded scores; only real players appear, and the table updates live as the round closes. Your daily streak gets a special celebration at 3, 7, 14 and 30 days.

WHY KELIMECE?

• An English word list of more than 120,000 entries
• Plus a Turkish dictionary of over 120,000 words, verb conjugations included; switching language changes the interface, the letter bag, the letter values, the dictionary and the leaderboard together
• Every board is guaranteed at least 70 findable words — no dead boards
• Vowels are deliberately spread across the grid, so you never get a corner of pure consonants
• Share your emoji grid, your score and your live rank with one tap
• Seven distinct sound effects and haptics, both switchable
• Phone and tablet; the board rescales on larger screens

ADS AND PRIVACY

The board stays the focus: a slim banner sits at the very bottom of the play screen, and a larger ad appears only on the waiting and results screens. No full-screen ads, nothing to buy. No sign-up, no account, no e-mail — you pick your own player name. We ask for no location, contacts, camera or notification permission.
