Knotwords

if you're a real wordle-type weirdo, this game's gonna be yr jam. be ye prepared to play this every day for the next year or so if you're looking to 100% it. p.s. it does work on steam deck, but i'd *strongly* recommend running it with bluetooth mouse/keyboard peripherals as the gamepad is a bit clunky to say the least.

A very enjoyable puzzler with a nice range of difficulties. Daily and monthly sets of puzzles provide plenty of content.

Fun little crossword-style break when you want to watch a movie and need something to occupy your hands.

This is a fun little word game of a type I have not seen before.

My previous negative review was due to a botched update that seemingly erased all records and acted as a version that wasn't paid for. The developers were quick to rectify the problem in a few hours, and all records were restored. That said, I have put over 80 hours into this game and have played daily for many months. I have found it fun and compelling. I kind of use the game as something to get my brain started working before I go onto other tasks for the day. Sometimes the puzzles are very easy, and sometimes they are extremely difficult. There is a hint feature that I have never tried, because I like to try to work out solutions on my own, and I've always eventually got them. Here are nitpicks I have about the game, but it doesn't take so much away that it's a negative experience: 1) Some words are WAY overused. Part of that is because there are a lot of 2 and 3 letter words in puzzles. Even so, EGO and EMU are words that seem to come up way more than they ought to. I recently had a string of five puzzles in a row that all used the word ABYSS. 2) The inputs I think are optimized for mobile and not keyboard. The best input option I've found is "word" but whatever algorithm that is used does a pretty bad job of understanding which box you're wanting to fill in next, and is also not very good at understanding that you're going vertical or horizontal even if there is only one option from the current box you're in. If you play this game with a keyboard, either have a mouse handy, or get used to the directional buttons being the main way you get around the puzzle. 3) The monthly puzzlebooks have occasional themed puzzles scattered throughout them, but there only appears to be a very limited amount of themes: Positive Qualities, Negative Qualities, Weather, Animals, Flowers, and I think that's it (there might be one or two more that I'm not remembering at the moment, but that's it at the most). It would be good if there were more variety of themes in the puzzlebooks than the same five.

Daily word puzzles that don't become a chore.

Love this game
