EdgeWords

EdgeWords came out on the App Store in January 2026 and is also on Google Play, where it is listed under Jonathon Gibbs and The Story Chamber Ltd of Nottingham. It is free, with no ads (the Android listing names in-app purchases), and gives every player the same four puzzles each day, with streaks, stats, badges, private groups and global rankings.

Each puzzle is a shape with letters along its edges, and each shape is a level of difficulty: Tripp the Triangle with 9 letters is easy, Cubert the Square with 12 is medium, Penny the Pentagon with 15 is hard and Hex the Hexagon with 18 is expert. You spell a word by tapping letters, but two letters in a row may not come from the same side. The next word must begin with the last letter of the word before, and the puzzle is solved when every letter on the shape has been used at least once.

Any chain that uses every letter solves the puzzle, but each one has a par, the smallest number of words that can do it, and matching par gives the best score. In groups you can compare your chain with your friends' solutions and see who solved the hexagon fastest.

It suits players of the New York Times' Letter Boxed who want more of it each day, at four levels from a quick triangle to a long hexagon.
