Tungle

Tungle is an independent browser word game from Andreassen Technologies. Each day there is a grid of letter tiles and a list of required words to find, shown only as counts by length, for example fifteen four-letter words and one ten-letter word.

You find words by tracing: press the first letter, drag through neighbouring tiles in any direction including diagonals, and release. You cannot skip a tile or use the same tile twice in one word. Required words count towards finishing; other valid words you spot are kept as bonus words.

There is no countdown: a clock counts up as you play and can be paused, so you can leave and come back. As your score grows, hints unlock: counts of words starting on each tile, then tile clues, then first-letter clues for the list, and you also get a limited number of word reveals. You can compare progress with friends or use Solve together, where everyone's finds help the group finish.

Today's Daily and the smaller Mini are free with no account needed. The optional Tungle+ membership adds the archive, extra hints and the harder Weekly that comes out every Friday.
