Starlace

No timers, no lives, no streak to protect. Just a night sky full of hidden words waiting to be laced together. Find them all and the constellation lights up.

Starlace is a word puzzle that lets you breathe.

Every level is a night sky. The stars carry letters, and hidden among them are words - not in straight lines, but bending and turning through the grid. Press a star and drag through its neighbours to lace a word together. Each word you find leaves a glowing thread behind, and when you find them all, the threads become a constellation with a name of its own: The Lantern. The Ferryman. The Copper Hare.

There is no timer. There are no lives, no hearts to refill, no streak that punishes you for missing a day. You cannot lose Starlace. You can only take longer, and taking longer is the point.

HOW IT PLAYS

• Trace between neighbouring stars - sideways, up, down, diagonally
• Words bend as they go, so you learn to read whole neighbourhoods
• Slots at the top show you how long each hidden word is
• Every real word you spot that isn't on the list pays a bonus find
• Grids grow from four by four up to seven by seven as your eye sharpens
• Sixty named constellations, and more nights beyond them

QUIET BY DESIGN

Ambient pads drift under a slowly turning starfield. Letters chime softly as you drag through them. If you would rather have silence, or a calmer background, or larger and brighter letters, all of it is in Settings - including a left-handed layout and a reduced motion mode.

PLAY ANYWHERE

Starlace works completely offline. No account, no sign-in, no connection needed. Your progress is saved on your device, and the puzzles are identical for everyone, forever - night 40 is night 40 whether you play it today or next year.

STUCK IS FINE

Spend stardust to reveal a single letter or a whole word, or watch a short video for more. You earn stardust just by playing, and by finding bonus words. Nothing is locked behind a wall.

Starlace is a game about noticing things. Take it slowly.
