Build from the available letters
Tap letters to spell smaller words, remove a choice, shuffle the tray, and submit—always respecting repeated-letter counts from the target.
Find the smaller words hiding inside six letters.
Hidden Word Puzzle is a calm iPhone word game with daily challenges, six bundled game languages, and no timer pressure.
On the App Store since May 2026
One six-letter target, many hidden words
Three clear difficulties
Easy uses 3+ letter answers and 25–35 hidden words; Medium uses 15–24; Hard raises the minimum to 4 letters and doubles the base score.
No timer pressure
There is no countdown, opponent, leaderboard, or social comparison. Finish a level at your own pace and resume local free-play progress later.
A deterministic solo journey
Free play that progresses
Each language and difficulty has its own repeatable level sequence, with played-target history and progress stored locally in SwiftData.
One daily challenge
The UTC day and selected game language determine one Medium-pool challenge, so its identity remains stable across relaunches and time-zone changes.
Game and app language stay separate
Choose bundled English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, or Russian puzzle content while the interface continues to follow iOS per-app language settings.
Private play with a fair one-time upgrade
Three hints per level free
A hint reveals the first letter of the shortest undiscovered word. Hinted words score half points, and fully completing a board adds a 100-point bonus.
Lifetime Access
One family-shareable purchase adds unlimited hints, per-language stats, and recent daily challenge history. No subscription or consumable hint packs.
Local and account-free
Progress, settings, stats, and daily history stay on the iPhone with no accounts, ads, tracking, analytics SDKs, cloud sync, or remote dictionaries.
Maker note
Why Hidden Word Puzzle has no clock
The satisfying part is noticing another word inside the same six letters, not racing an opponent or protecting a streak. Each language and difficulty keeps its own local journey, the daily challenge stays deterministic, and hints reduce the score they reveal. The game leaves room to think and return later.
Daniel · solo developer behind Crafter AppsHidden Word Puzzle questions
Is there a timer or leaderboard?
No. Free play and daily challenges have no countdown, opponent, public score comparison, or social graph.
Which game languages are bundled?
Choose English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, or Russian puzzle content independently from the app interface language.
How does the daily challenge stay consistent?
The UTC day and selected game language determine one Medium-pool challenge, so its identity survives relaunch and time-zone changes.
How do free hints work?
Each level includes three hints. A hint reveals the first letter of the shortest undiscovered word, and a hinted word earns half points.
