Wordpeek
Swipe words to peel away tiles and name the hidden picture.
Every day: A fresh dated puzzle every day: swipe words through a letter grid to peel tiles away, then name the hidden picture underneath in three guesses. Playing all seven days of a week unlocks a pack. New puzzle: Once a day.
Wordpeek is a word search with a picture under it. Each day's grid hides a picture; swipe words through the letters to clear tiles and reveal it, then name what you see in three guesses.
About Wordpeek
Wordpeek comes from the Warui Tensai Foundation, the small studio of Mike Elliott and Kelly Dornhaus, and plays on the web and in apps for iPhone and Android. Its pitch is in two lines: reveal the picture, find the word.
Each puzzle is a grid of letters laid over a hidden picture. You swipe through the grid to spell words, and every word you find peels its tiles away, exposing part of the image underneath. Once you think you know what the picture shows, you guess it, and you have three guesses. A hint and a few helpful items are there for tough moments.
There is a fresh puzzle every day. In the apps, the Daily Puzzles screen lays the days out by week, and playing all seven days of a week unlocks a puzzle pack; dozens of packs are there to explore beyond the daily.
It suits players who enjoy word searches but want a goal beyond finding every word.

Tips
- Clear tiles in the centre first; that is usually where the picture's subject sits.
- Do not guess too early: three guesses go quickly on a half-hidden picture.
