Lexicove

Take your time. Choose your words.

What runs out is words.

Drag through touching letters to spell a word. The tiles dissolve and the board falls in behind them. Nothing is counting down.

No timers. No accounts.

A Lexicove board mid-word: the letters R-E-S-O-N-A-T-E lit along a trail through the grid, with a tag reading “builds to ×1.20”.

Three ways in

Pick the shape of the session before you start.

Not a difficulty setting. Three different games that share one board.

Journey

A run, not a ladder. Score carries from level one, the budget tightens as you climb, and running out below the target ends it.

Daily Pool

One board, thirty words, the same letters for every player in the world that day. Keeps a streak.

Still Water

No target, no budget, no ending. The board simply refills for as long as you want to sit with it.

The quiet part

What isn’t in it.

A game that promises calm and then interrupts you is not calm.

What is.

Lexicove collects analytics. The game reports how a run went — the level, the score, whether a level was harder than intended — so the difficulty can be tuned against real play instead of guesswork. Nothing in it identifies you or your device, and a switch in Records turns it off.

Your run and your records live on your device and are deleted with the app. Read the privacy policy — it says exactly what all of that means.

Take your time. Choose your words.

Lexicove is in open beta on iPhone and iPad.
