I’m working on In Other Words, a daily word puzzle where players connect seemingly unrelated words through conceptual stepping stones. The game showcases how any two words can be connected through surprisingly few steps — we’ve crafted each puzzle to need at least 3 hops, with around 50 elegant 3-hop solutions hidden among thousands of possibilities. When players explore longer paths (up to 9 hops), they can discover millions of valid solutions among billions of potential routes. It’s fascinating to see how words like “ground” can bridge entirely different concepts, or how homographs create unexpected connections between semantic domains. The game advances the “idea-linking” category of word puzzles — focusing on meaning rather than spelling or anagrams — and turns our linguistic network into a daily brain teaser where finding your own creative path is as rewarding as discovering the most elegant solution.

It’s for iPhone only (yes, sorry!), and you can play for free once. Apologies in advance for the large download. Get it from here: https://www.inotherwords.app/
