No long turns. No waiting. Just quick challenges, clever words, and 100 beautifully laser‑cut tactile tiles that snap together like a puzzle.

Game mode 1: follow the category

Use the companion app to generate round‑by‑round challenges, then place your words onto the shared puzzle board before someone else steals your spot. The app throws new constraints at you every round. Build words, attach them to the shared board, and outplay everyone at the table.

How Categorical Constraints Affect Game Play:

Players must think more deeply

Words aren’t just about meaning — they’re about structure, scoring, and tile economy.

The board becomes more interconnected

Because every word must attach to the existing puzzle, constraints force players to find clever placements.

The app becomes the “game master”

It drives variety, difficulty, and replayability without interfering with the tactile tabletop experience.

A unique hybrid word game that’s perfect for families, game nights, and puzzle lovers.
Easy to learn, endlessly replayable, and crafted to last.

Game mode 2: word association chain

This mode transforms Puzzled Words into a fast, creative, brain‑twisting chain‑reaction game. Instead of matching scores or constraints, players must connect concepts — building a branching network of related words on the puzzle board.

Objective

Create a continuous chain of meaningfully connected words, each one linking to the previous word on the board. The puzzle grows like a mind map, and the challenge is keeping your associations clever, valid, and attachable.

How it works

1. Start With a Seed Category

The app chooses a starting theme, such as: VEHICLES
Example seed: VEHICLES
Place the seed word tile in the center of the table.

2. Players Take Turns Adding Related Words
Each new word must be:

Conceptually related to the word it attaches to
Physically connected to the puzzle board
A valid association (the group can challenge questionable links)

Example Chain
Seed: VEHICLES

Player 1: connects CAR (a type of vehicle)
Player 2: connects TIRE (a part of a car)
Player 1: connects ROUND (a property of a tire)
Player 2: connects PLATE (a round plate)
Player 1: connects DINNER (you eat from a plate)
Player 2: connects FORK (used at dinner)

And so on…
The chain can drift far from the original category — as long as each step is logically linked.

What counts as a valid connection?

A word is valid if it has a clear, explainable relationship to the word it touches.
Examples:

Category → Example (VEHICLE → CAR)
Object → Part (CAR → TIRE)

Object → Property (TIRE → ROUND)
Property → Example (ROUND → PLATE)
Function → Tool (DINNER → FORK)

Synonym / antonym
Cause / effect
Material / object
Action / object
If players disagree, they vote.

Why this mode is awesome

Encourages creativity and lateral thinking
Creates hilarious, surprising word chains
Works beautifully with the interlocking puzzle tiles
No two games ever follow the same path
Great for families, parties, and warm‑up rounds
