About

No account, ads, subscription, or internet connection is needed to play. Dovetail Words is a crossword puzzle without clues. You get every letter up front. The challenge is figuring out where each two-letter piece belongs so that every row and column is a real word. Tap a piece to turn it through its four possible arrangements, then drag it into the grid. Words light up when they click into place. Because the words cross, one good move can solve more than one word at once. Pick the kind of puzzle you want: • Compact 5×3 for a quick break • Standard 5×4 for the usual challenge • Expert 5×5 when you want a tougher board • Random for either Compact or Standard You will also find: • A shared Daily Puzzle and streak tracking • Spoiler-free puzzle challenges for sharing the same board with a friend • Hints, stars, milestones, and unlockable color styles • An interactive tutorial that teaches the basics as you play • History, board-size statistics, and a personal word collection • Built-in definitions that work offline • Sound effects, fireworks, and a proper win screen • Optional iCloud backup for selected progress and statistics
