## Description

An original word roguelike, phrase-chain races, a word-chain duel with levels and a turn timer, daily crosswords and sudoku, and offline word battles for 2 to 10.

Word Fever is a funky word arcade for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is not one word game but a dozen, including original modes you will not find anywhere else. No ads, no sign-up, no nonsense - just words.

GAUNTLET - AN ORIGINAL WORD ROGUELIKE
- Draw letters and play one word each round to beat a rising target
- Then draft one of three Boons - double vowels, rare-letter bonuses, wild tiles, an extra rack slot, and more - that stack across your run
- No board, no hidden word: build your own scoring engine and survive. A shared Daily Gauntlet gives everyone the same tiles.

CHAIN LINK - A WORD-CHAIN DUEL
- Take turns playing real words; each must START with the linked letters of the word before it
- Four levels: Easy links one letter, Impossible links three
- Public hints keep it friendly - and every pass reveals a word that was possible
- Optional turn timer (15, 30, or 60 seconds), pass-and-play or over Wi-Fi

CHAIN BATTLE - THE PHRASE-CHAIN RACE
- A start word plus seven hidden words, where each pair reads as a common phrase: morning COFFEE, coffee CUP, cup CAKE
- Only first letters show; the clock decides. Hints cost seconds.
- Race solo, pass the device, or live over Wi-Fi on the same chain

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
- Daily Word - guess the day's word in six tries, at 4 to 7 letters
- Daily Crossword - newspaper-style black-square grids at four difficulties
- Daily Sudoku - four difficulties plus an endless on-device generator

THE CLASSIC BOARD, YOUR WAY
- Word tiles with premium squares, blanks, and the authentic challenge rule
- Pass-and-play with 2 to 10 people, or Wi-Fi multiplayer - several players per device, combined into one game
- A Warm-Up Bot that LEARNS as you play and levels up when you win
- A 227,000-word built-in dictionary, so everything works fully offline

MADE TO FEEL GOOD
- A bold "Funky" design with light and dark mode and color themes
- Game sounds and haptics; stats, achievements, and Game Center leaderboards
- Adjustable text size and full VoiceOver accessibility
- Progress syncs privately through your own iCloud - no account

Word Fever is free, contains no advertising and no in-app purchases, and does not collect your personal data. It is an original game and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Scrabble, Wordle, or their owners.
