Knotwords
Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle — with words. Arrange each section so every word across and down is valid. It may look difficult at first, but you'll be surprised at how quickly you pick it up! This is the kind of game I've been trying to design my whole career — I hope you like it

By 80 Days May 28, 2022

“将数独与crossword结合的轻度解谜游戏。不用猜谜语这一点在某种程度上对非英语国家的玩家就很友好。为了重新平衡难度，舍弃了单纯横竖贯通的长条谜面，让不同单词中的字母成为其他单词的干扰项。另外本作一大特色是只有日常和月常，而非关卡列表的形式，如此在游戏内容输出速度上的克制结合鼓励参与日常的成就设置，又给这个小品增添了几分魔性，所谓细水长流。”

Reviews

“I've been playing it all morning and I'm typing this as fast as possible so I can go right back to playing it all afternoon.”
PC Gamer

“Knotwords is my new daily word-game obsession — The unique, logic-heavy combo of crosswords and kenken tickles my brain just right.”
Ars Technica

“If you like Wordle you should check out Knotwords. It is an incredibly elegant daily word game. What impresses me most is that, despite its deceptively simple appearance, it has clearly been built with a great deal of thought and care.”
Josh Wardle (Creator of Wordle)

About This Game



Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle — with words.

The rules are simple: arrange the letters in each section so every word is valid, across and down.

Each puzzle may seem difficult at first — but like all my favorite newspaper puzzles, it gets easier as you progress. Each step guides you naturally towards the solution.

This is the kind of game I've been trying to make my whole career — I'm amazed Jack and I discovered this design. We hope you like it.
