WordVane: Anagram Crosswords

Relax and sharpen your mind with WordVane, a beautiful word connect puzzle game built on a simple idea: the same handful of letters can spell more than one word. Swipe your finger across the letter circle, uncover hidden anagrams, and watch each valid word arc seamlessly into the crossword grid below.

Whether you have a two-minute brain break during the day or a long, winding session before bed, WordVane provides the perfect balance of cognitive challenge and calming gameplay.

How to Play
Swipe your finger to connect letters on the circle pad to build words. Look closely every set of letters holds multiple secrets! For example, four simple letters like B, A, S, and E can spell BASE, BARE, or TABS depending on your level setup. Every valid word you discover flies directly into the crossword grid. Fill every empty slot to clear the level and unlock the next challenge.

500+ Handcrafted Levels
Work your way through more than 500 hand-designed puzzles split across four difficulty tiers: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. Levels unlock progressively, ensuring there is always a fresh, accessible challenge waiting for you as you expand your vocabulary.

Stars, Scores, and Leaderboards
Earn points for every word you find, plus a clean finish completion bonus. Complete a level without using hints to achieve a perfect 3-star rating. Track your progress and see how your spelling vocabulary stacks up against players worldwide on the All-Time and Weekly leaderboards.

Power-Ups to Boost Your Brain
Stuck on a tricky, complex word? Use your power-up stash to keep moving:
• Hint Token: Reveals a single strategic letter on the grid.
• Lightning Token: Reveals the entire target word in a brilliant flash.
*Note: Using hints gently trims your end-of-level score bonus!

Build Your Power-Up Stash
The letter circle hides more than just the main puzzle answers. Spell any valid English word that isn't on the crossword grid to earn bonus points. Trade your accumulated bonus points directly for extra Hint or Lightning tokens. The larger your active vocabulary, the more power-ups you can hoard.
