‎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!

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…

Mind Control, like the endless "Rando" versions of Letter Opener and Six Appeal, is limited to paying subscribers. You can subscribe on the web or in the app.

Subscribers also get the ability to appear on the leaderboards, and play a full-size daily crossword puzzle on the web (or in the amazing Black Ink app from @danielpunkass).

@lexfri I’m running into an issue where Mind Control doesn’t put me on the leaderboard or remembers that I’ve solved it, even though it shows the checkmark that I did. When I open it again, it opens from scratch but still doesn’t save my state if I solve it again. Everything looks and feels really good though! Great job!
