BackWord - Daily Word Puzzle

New: unlimited practice mode with three difficulty levels. Play as many grids as you want, no streak on the line. Plus a full archive of past daily puzzles.

Every word game asks you to solve a grid. Backword asks you to unsolve one.

You're handed a finished grid: rows of colored tiles, and the answer word sitting at the bottom. What's missing are the letters that got there. Work backwards from the clues to rebuild every guess that led to the solution.

It's the same satisfaction as a good logic puzzle. Each tile tells you something. A dark tile means that letter sits in exactly that spot. A warm tile means it belongs in the word, but somewhere else. A pale tile means it isn't in the word at all. Put those constraints together and only one set of letters fits.

HOW IT WORKS

Tap a tile, type a letter, and the grid checks itself against the colors. Fill all of them correctly and the puzzle resolves. Get stuck and you have hints to spend, but the streak belongs to whoever finishes clean.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Daily puzzle — one new grid every day, same for everyone Unlimited practice — easy, medium and hard, play as long as you like Archive — every past daily, unlocked and playable Stats — streaks, solve times, and how you compare to your own best Awards — milestones for streaks, speed, and clean solves

WHO IT'S FOR

If you finish crosswords in pen, if you like sudoku for the deduction rather than the numbers, if you've ever looked at a solved puzzle and wondered how someone got there — this is that feeling, made into a game.

No account required. No timer pressure unless you want it. One grid a day, or a hundred.

Free to play, with an optional ad-free upgrade.
