Wordscapes is a mobile word game from PeopleFun where you swipe across a wheel of letters to spell words that fill a crossword-style grid. Besides thousands of regular levels, the app has a Daily Puzzle that is the same for everyone on a given date. It is free to download, with ads and in-app purchases.
About Wordscapes (Daily Puzzle)
Wordscapes is a letter-wheel crossword game for iPhone, iPad and Android, released by PeopleFun in 2017 and still updated in October 2026. Each level gives you a handful of letters in a circle and an empty crossword-style grid; you connect letters by swiping to spell words, and each correct word drops into its place in the grid. Extra valid words that are not in the grid count as bonus words.
Alongside its main run of more than 6,000 levels set against landscape backgrounds, the app has a Daily Puzzle. It is a single board per calendar date, shared by every player, which is why fan answer sites list the Daily Puzzle words day by day. On 22 October 2026, for example, the board used the letters of DAMAGE and asked for 14 words, with six more bonus words to find.
A day's puzzle takes a few minutes: spot the longest word that uses every letter, fill in the short three- and four-letter words, and use the shuffle button to see the letters in a new order when you get stuck. Hints reveal letters if you need them.
Wordscapes suits players who like anagrams and gentle crosswords without a timer. It is free to play with ads and optional purchases, has no web version, and can be played in English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese.
