Twelve Letters: Word Puzzle

About this app

Guess the twelve-letter word before time runs out! Twelve Letters is an addictive word puzzle inspired by the famous final round of a classic TV quiz show. Twelve numbered tiles hold the scrambled letters of a hidden word, but watch out: some tiles are empty and some letters are wrong. You only find out once you buy them. Buy letters as hints or type the whole word in one go. The fewer hints you use and the faster you are, the higher your score. After two minutes buying locks and you get one final guess. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a letter to buy it, and every purchase costs points • Correct letters jump straight to their right spot • Wrong letters turn black and leave a dash behind • Type the full word the moment you think you know it CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE • Number of letters: 12, 11, 10 or random • Wrong letters: 0 to 4 • Fewer letters, more mistakes and less time mean a higher multiplier and more points DAILY PUZZLE • One new word every day, the same for every player • Just one attempt, so make it count • Compare your score on the daily Game Center leaderboard FEATURES • Plays in landscape on iPhone and iPad • Polished sound effects and haptics, each with its own on/off switch • Track your results: solved, time, letters bought and your solving streak • Compete for the top score on the Game Center leaderboard • Fully localized in Dutch, German and English • Quick rounds you can pick up anytime Perfect for training your vocabulary and speed, or simply for giving your brain a proper workout.
