‎Lex.Games

‎Lex.Games offers a slew of daily word games to enjoy. Conlextions is a custom spin on the increasingly popular Connections puzzle format: You see a grid of sixteen terms, and need to identify four sets of four groups — watching out for words that might fall into more than one category! Lexicogs o…

If you already play Lex.Games on the web and are wondering just what the heck Letter Opener is...

That one is exclusive to iOS for now. And is free for all!

You get a handful of letters as an "opener." You have 90 seconds to find as many words as you can, and the longer the words, the more points they're worth!

While not every game from Lex.Games on the web is in the app yet, many are! Conlextions looks quite lovely. And that shuffle button is a joy — trust me.

Oh, did I mention that the game has a mellow (mutable) soundtrack? It sure does! And the win jingle when you solve a puzzle — like Lexicogs — is worth the price of admission.

(Worth noting: The price of admission is: free. But people tell me they like the jingle!)

I know there are By A Vowel stans out there. Good news: BAV works great in Lex.Games. And as with all the other games, you can see the leaderboard and all the archives, too…

It's possible I'm Six Appeal's biggest fan. But maybe you'll join me.

(I like it because it's a puzzle I get to play too — I don't know what the words are ahead of time!)

Six Appeal is Wordle meets Mastermind. Six-letter Wordle-style puzzles, with the caveat that you're not required to use real words. (But real words are worth more points!)

@lexfri I am also a fan of Six Appeal, but it seems like it occasionally changes words mid-game.

(Also, on my iPhone 15 non-Max, the keyboard is too big for the screen. Several keys get clipped, and the P key is only visible at all in landscape.)

@rlorenz 👀

Can I get a keyboard portrait screenshot too? Will fix.

@lexfri Thanks! Here you go. BTW, I use adaptive text, usually above 100%. Setting it lower made the letters smaller, but not the keys/boxes.

@rlorenz and I assume the changing issue is only happening on Rando?

@lexfri I’ve only seen it on rando, but it isn’t common. I wouldn’t have necessarily expected it to show up in the daily game at this point.
