Wordpeek

Wordpeek is made by the Warui Tensai Foundation, the small studio of Mike Elliott and Kelly Dornhaus, whose other games are listed on PlayThese.WTF. It came out on the App Store in December 2025 (listed there under Kelly Dornhaus Games), and its daily puzzle calendar started in July 2026. It plays in the browser and in apps for iPhone and Android.

Each puzzle is a 9x9 grid of letters laid over a hidden picture. You drag through touching letters to spell a word, up, down, diagonally or twisting around, and every word you find takes its tiles off the board and shows that part of the picture underneath. When you think you know what it is, you type your guess on the keyboard below the grid. You have three guesses, and a Skip button if you would rather keep clearing tiles first. A hint and a few helper items are there for a stuck moment.

A new dated puzzle comes out every day, the same for everyone, and today's is the one the web game opens. In the apps, the Daily Puzzles screen lays out this week's and last week's days, so a missed day can be caught up, and playing all seven days of a week unlocks a puzzle pack. Dozens of packs wait beyond the daily.

What sets it apart from other word hunts is that the words are only the way in: the real question is the picture. You can stop tracing as soon as you recognise it, so a good eye counts as much as a good vocabulary. It suits players who like tracing words through a letter grid and want a small riddle at the end of it.
