…love solitaire.As calm, with always a way through.
No timer, no rush. Big, clear tiles. Every board is built to be solved.
Words have power.
The calm of a tile game, the cleverness of a word puzzle. Every day.
A demo plays: a hand taps the tiles H, E, A and T on a small stacked board, and each one hops into the tray under the hidden phrase. HEAT is a word, so Cast turns gold. Cast: every H, E, A and T in the phrase lights up. It casts OUR, then the empty tray's button reads Solve. The hand taps it, the solve sheet comes up, and the missing letters L, I, F, C and P are typed in one by one: LIFT EACH OTHER UP breaks the spell. The phrase glows, then new tiles deal in and it plays again.

Today's Puzzle

The same one for everyone. Keep your streak going.
A new puzzle every midnight, New York timeHow it plays
Spell words to light up the phrase.
A small level plays itself. R, O and W hop into the tray and are cast: every R, O and W in the hidden phrase lights up. Then a word with a Lightning tile: the bolt marks three tiles the phrase doesn't need, and they burst. Then a word with a Prism tile, whose letter is always in the phrase. Then the empty tray's button reads Solve: the solve sheet comes up, D and V are typed in, and WORDS HAVE POWER breaks the spell.

What's the magic word?
Why words?
Long before it meant getting the letters right, a spell was simply something said. Say the right words and doors open. Every child learns it with one word: please.
We still believe it. Words have power, and kind ones most of all. So this game is made of them: the sayings we grew up with, the stories behind them, and a note to send when someone needs one.
Use yours kindly. Especially on yourself.
