A quiet brain teaser for word lovers

Overwords is a minimalist word-puzzle game that offers a refreshing, distraction-free experience. Designed by a solo developer, it challenges players to stack words strategically on a board, fusing overlapping letters into new words. With a gentle soundtrack and clean visuals, it invites calm, thoughtful gameplay over flashy distractions. 

Strategic stacking and satisfying solutions 

Each of the 30 levels requires players to think spatially and linguistically, combining words in clever ways to expand the board. As overlapping letters merge into new words, puzzles become increasingly complex, rewarding patience and foresight. The core mechanic is both simple to grasp and deeply satisfying when mastered. 

This game succeeds in creating a soothing and focused puzzle experience, free from ads or in-app purchases. However, with only 30 levels at launch, some players find it a bit short, especially if they breeze through the challenges quickly. Fortunately, free updates promise more content in the future. 

A clean, thoughtful puzzle gem 

Perfect for fans of word games and slow-paced challenges, Overwords delivers elegant mechanics and relaxing gameplay. While the level count is limited for now, its charm, polish, and promise of updates make it a worthwhile pick for puzzle enthusiasts looking for a mindful escape.
