About this app

Swipe across touching letters to spell words. The clock is always draining — long words buy it back, and the longer the word, the more it pays. Every ten words, the world sinks a gate deeper. The light thins. The art changes. Time flows faster. Seven named places lie below the surface — the underroot, the echo vaults, the drowned archive — and past the seventh gate they're only numbered. Nobody has seen the bottom. THE DAILY CHALLENGE One board, the same for everyone, one attempt a day. Your score is your score. Miss a day and it's in the archive, waiting. PLAY ANY TIME A fresh board whenever you want it, on an easy, medium, or hard clock. CASCADES The letters you spend fall away. Plan it right and the fall spells a word on its own, and pays you for it. Chain them for a multiplier. SPECIAL DAYS On holidays the board hides a dozen bonus words worth triple — only on the day itself. Now playable in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese — each with its own dictionary, letters, and special days. Game Center leaderboards and achievements. Your streaks and history sync across your devices through iCloud. A one-time purchase. No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts. Nothing is collected about you.

Baseline captured. Growth appears after the crawler observes a changed rating count.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
