Lexitaire

Lexitaire is a fast, addictively simple word game: spell words from tiles arranged in columns, score points, and keep playing until the board runs dry.

HOW TO PLAY

• The board is built from columns of letter tiles — only the tile on top of each column is playable.

• Tap tiles across columns to spell a word in your current-word tray.

• Apply a valid word to score it and clear those tiles, revealing the next letters underneath.

• Longer, higher-value words score more — each tile carries its own point value.

• The game ends when no more words can be made. Beat your personal best and land on the on-device top-10 list.

TIMED MODE

Prefer to race the clock? Start a Timed Game instead — tiles keep regenerating so the board never runs dry. When the countdown ends, so does the round.

PLAY IN NINE LANGUAGES

Lexitaire ships with nine full dictionaries, each using its own standard letter distribution and point values:

English · Spanish · French · Italian · German · Portuguese · Greek · Romanian · Dutch

Know more than one? Combine any of the eight Latin-script languages in Settings, and a word scores if it's valid in any language you've selected — the more languages you know, the more ways there are to find a word on the same board. (Greek uses its own alphabet and always plays solo.)

The app itself is localized into an even larger set of languages, so the menus and interface feel at home no matter what you play in.

ADAPTIVE BOARD

The board size adjusts to your screen, so Lexitaire looks great on any iPhone or iPad — and plays great on Apple TV with the Siri Remote too.

Lexitaire was originally released in 2008 as Word Nerd, later renamed Wordly — the same game you remember, now with a new name.
