About Word Forward

The #1 Word Game! Played by millions!

“Equally a brain-teaser and a brain-pleaser” - MacWorld
“An excellent buy for solo players” - TechRadar
“A really fun and well-executed word game” - PocketGamer

Beautifully simple. Endlessly challenging.

Word Forward is the word puzzle game where every choice matters.

Can you use all of the letters in the 5x5 grid to make words disappear and clear the board? Word Forward isn’t about spelling the longest words or the most clever - it’s about carefully using every tile to declare victory in 500 puzzles. It requires cunning and strategy -- Word Forward is a brain teaser that will really make you think!

• SPELL words by tracing a line between tiles in any direction, including diagonally
• SWAP any two letters on the grid by using a SWAP TOKEN, earned during gameplay
• JUMBLE the tiles on the grid to replace all the letters with new ones when all else fails
• CHANGE the letter on a tile to any other letter you choose using the SWAP MODIFIER
• ELIMINATE stubborn tiles with BOMBS to get yourself out of a tight spot

The latest brain-tingling puzzle game from the creators of Block Droppin Blitz.

What’s New in Word Forward:

YOU MUST UNDO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE: Or, well, now you can. By popular demand, we’ve added an “Undo” button to let you clean up your mistakes: specifically, when you submit a word that you didn’t mean to. Note: this undo feature only works in Word Forward. If you say something mean to your third cousin at your niece’s quinceanera, our undo button can’t take *those* words back.

SWAPPIN’ BUGS FOR… NOT BUGS, I GUESS: There was a tiny little bug where if you spelled an amazingly long word, you didn’t earn swaps. We squashed that bug. Squashed it good. It’s so squashed that we’ve had to throw out our left shoe. And they don’t let you buy just *one* shoe, so we’re going to have to throw out the right as well. How do you even go to the shoe store if you don’t have shoes?! We’ll report back when we figure it out.
