About word games

Vocabulary under pressure. These run from crosswords and anagram scrambles to the daily-guess format Wordle made universal, and they are the rare browser genre that measurably gets easier the more of them you play.

They are also the most language-dependent games on the site — all of them assume English — and the friendliest to a phone keyboard. Nearby: math games, memory and puzzle games.

Playnix lists 60 word games, ordered best-first rather than alphabetically. Most sit in the puzzle and kids categories. The three ranked highest right now are Crossword, Cat Strapped and Mumble Jumble. Every one of them loads straight into the page — no download, no plugin, no account.
