What’s New Version 3.12
When Lex.Games first launched on the web, one of the early games I created was "Square Dance." When I built the Lex.Games app, I never ported that game. Most people didn't notice. But my son Liam did. He loved that game, and resented that I never added it to Lex.Games.
I love my son. And I love you. Not the same way I love my son, but still, I appreciate your support of me and my apps. But anyway, since Liam has long wished for Square Dance to come to Lex.Games, and since I love Liam... This update adds the final Lex.Games game to Lex.Games. Square Dance now joins the Lex.Games party.
Three words, each missing one letter. Find the highest point-value letter you can to form a complete word using the letters available. Make three words. Be proud!
Description
Lex.Games offers a slew of daily word games to enjoy: Conlextions, Lexicogs, Cryptograms, Write & Rung, Mini and Full-Size Crosswords, By A Vowel, Six Appeal, Letter Opener, Square Dance, and Mind Control.
Conlextions is a custom spin on the increasingly popular Connections puzzle format: You see a grid of sixteen terms, and need to identify four sets of four groups — watching out for words that might fall into more than one category!
Lexicogs offers crossword-style clues, and you assemble the answers from the "cogs" of words below. Solve all seven clues as fast as you can.
By A Vowel is a word jumble game: Five themed words, each missing one of the five vowels. Crack the theme to help improve your solve time.
Six Appeal is like Wordle meets Mastermind: You're solving a six-letter word, but your guesses don't all need to be real words — though they're worth more points if they are.
Cryptograms are letter cypher puzzles. Write & Rung is a word ladder building game.
Letter Opener gives you 90 seconds to form as many words as you can using the starting letters provided. Can you top the leaderboard?
The daily Mini is a crossword puzzle — only smaller. How fast can you solve the clues?
The full-size Crossword is — of course! — a full-size crossword. Woohoo!
Mind Control is a modern take on Mastermind — figure out the right order for the colorful pegs, using logic to determine the solution.
New puzzles each day, with individual leaderboards per game, along with a Lex.Games-wide leaderboard, too. Hear a fun jingle when you solve a puzzle. Enjoy the mellow background music, or disable all the sounds entirely.
Share your scores with friends, keep your mind busy, and satisfy your competitive streak! Word up. You can even add friends within the app to compare just your scores with each other, instead of seeing the whole leaderboard.
Don't like timers and scores? Enable Zen Mode so that you're playing just for the fun of it, without the competitive stuff.

Build 888013028v3.122026-07-08 21:08:18
When Lex.Games first launched on the web, one of the early games I created was "Square Dance." When I built the Lex.Games app, I never ported that game. Most people didn't notice. But my son Liam did. He loved that game, and resented that I never added it to Lex.Games.

Build 887056138v3.112026-06-16 23:40:32
Various bug fixes and improvements, including the win screen on Mind Control.
Build 886113074v3.102026-05-25 22:46:20
This update gives some welcome visual polish to Lex.Games: A bit more consistency across different screens, along with some light bug fixes and improvements.
Build 885634402v3.092026-05-14 00:14:32
Perhaps you love Cryptograms. Perhaps you want to play the Lex.Games Cryptograms archive. And perhaps you were stymied by the fact that the Cryptograms archives were oddly truncated. Now, mercifully, the archives screen shows ALL the old Cryptograms. That's better.
Build 885047832v3.082026-04-29 16:11:58
Write & Rung sees some refinement in this update. Just a little easier to play on the UI side of the house. A very very very fine house.
Build 884331152v3.072026-04-09 22:00:18
This update includes a variety of the under the hood fixes to improve gameplay, especially in Write & Rung.
Build 883871426v3.062026-03-28 16:27:37
This update fixes some under-the-hood issues with crosswords. (If you loaded a crossword that didn't work, and we fixed it on the server, the app was shy about showing you the fixed crossword later. We've cleaned up that shyness.)
Build 883445407v3.052026-03-17 18:44:18
Sometimes you see an app say it has bug fixes and improvements and you think to yourself, "Yeah, right. C'mon, what'd you REALLY do?!"
Well the truth is: This release contains a lot of bug fixes and improvements! The biggest improvement? The triumphant return of leaderboards for Mini crosswords and full-size crosswords! They were lost, but now are found.
Build 883321232v3.042026-03-14 03:09:20
Recent updates include a brand new game (Write & Rung), a new score/timer-free option (Zen Mode), and the new Friends feature so you can compare scores with friends.
This release includes bug fixes and improvements for all of those features!
Build 883277223v3.032026-03-11 23:25:19
Recently, we launched a brand new Word Ladder game. It didn't work for some users on iOS 18. This release makes the game fully functional for iOS 18 users.
We also recently launched Zen Mode, available in Settings, for players who don't want to see high scores and timers.
This update also introduces friend lists! Add your friends who use the app so that you can compare your high scores with each other.
Build 883190408v3.022026-03-10 01:41:56
We JUST launched a brand new daily puzzle in Lex.Games, Write & Rung. Maybe your solve times are incredible! But maybe solve times stress you out.
Introducing Zen Mode! If you enable Zen Mode in the app's settings, Lex.Games will no longer show timers or your solve times. And if you visit the Leaderboards, instead of seeing all the high scores, you'll simply get a motivational quote of some sort instead.
Zen Mode is for folks who play for the joy of solving puzzles, rather than racing the clock or competing against anyone else.
Build 883152616v3.012026-03-09 00:34:47
Version 3.0 introduced a brand new game — Write & Rung: Build word ladders by solving clever crossword-style clues.
But, unsurprisingly, Version 3.0 of Lex.Games ALSO introduced a handful of small bugs. This release makes scrolling and sorting easier in Write & Rung, plus includes the game in the settings for better organizing your Lex.Games home screen.
Good luck!
Build 883132111v3.02026-03-07 22:42:51
A brand new game! Write & Rung is a word ladder game. Solve a handful of clues to uncover a series of words each just one letter apart from each other. Order the word ladder correctly, and two more clues appear — the top and bottom rungs of the word ladder. Can you solve all the words?
This big update also includes a slew of bug fixes, improvements to Mini Crosswords, and more.
Build 882866493v2.162026-02-27 22:45:17
Crosswords, crosswords, crosswords. Full-size ones and mini ones. They've received a lot of improvements over the last few updates. This release contains a few more such fixes. You're worth it.
Build 882793822v2.142026-02-26 01:36:27
This release includes even more fixes for smaller screens. It also improves how we handle hints/reveals in Crosswords and Minis, and cleans up a few other bits of functionality. You can't spell "functionality" without "fun" — and trust me, I'm sure! I write word games all day!
Build 882836622v2.152026-02-26 23:37:56
A wise person once said you can please some of the people some of the time, and some of the people some of the time, but you can't please some of the people some of the time.
I have no idea what that means, but I do know that recent improvements that dramatically improved gameplay in a few games for users with small screens inadvertently made life WORSE for people with larger devices. This release is the Goldilocks version, where we're making things look great on all screen sizes, all of the time. If you felt stymied by a small keyboard on Crosswords or Mini Crosswords, this version is for you. And if you're on a smaller device, we're optimized for you, too. Hooray!
Build 882760852v2.132026-02-25 03:10:51
Small screens are people, too!
Some folks with smaller devices were having trouble reading Crossword and Mini Crossword clues. This updates addresses those issues and also includes various other under-the-hood fixes and improvements.
Build 882682772v2.112026-02-22 16:02:27
There was a pretty significant issue with Letter Opener. Specifically, on the 22nd of February 2026, it stopped working. That would be entirely my fault. The good news is, it's fixed now, and I have been severely punished.
This release also includes other minor bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements, and still includes recent updates you know and love improving Crosswords, Mini Crosswords, By A Vowel, and more.
Build 882685722v2.122026-02-22 21:28:31
We JUST released a fix for Letter Opener which... didn't fix Letter Opener. This Letter Opener fix ACTUALLY fixes Letter Opener, which is a far better Letter Opener fix, in our opinion.
This release also includes visual improvements to dark mode in Crosswords and Mini Crosswords.
Build 882612740v2.102026-02-20 00:12:45
Crosswords and Mini Crosswords recently scored a Lex.Games overhaul for the better — but a few bugs creeped in. We have now squashed those bugs as if they were insignificant picnic-ruiners. They are gone. The layouts are much improved when playing and solving, as are the win screens that appear upon solving a crossword.
Additionally, users with smaller phone screens — and/or larger font sizes — had troubles with the keyboard on Cryptograms and Six Appeal. Those layout issues are now but a distant memory.
But you know what we'll never forget? How much I love you. Thanks for playing!
Build 882343594v2.092026-02-11 03:06:27
The just-released 2.08 update improved Crosswords, Mini Crosswords, and By A Vowel. But sometimes improvements can cause tiny bugs. This... this was one of those times. This release fixes an issue with Mini crossword archives and cleans up a few under-the-hood issues. Hooray!
Build 882245909v2.082026-02-10 02:03:47
This update sports significant overhaul to Crosswords and Mini Crosswords, with a significantly improved interface, bug fixes, and overall betterness, as defined by the Betterness Institute of Word Games™, of which I am the sole member AND president. (It was unanimous.)
Also in this update is a bit of a glow up for By A Vowel. What's a glow up? I guess it's what my kids call a makeover? I'm old.
Anyway, I love you. Rate and review and stuff. You're aces.
Build 879649151v2.072025-11-10 18:35:24
Sometimes, certain puzzles didn't fit on the screen if you used the Larger Fonts accessibility setting. It's far less fun to solve puzzles that you can't see all of.
This release also includes some clean up for By A Vowel and Cryptograms.
Build 879621334v2.062025-11-09 17:56:34
Mind Control — the game might just remind you of Mastermind! — got a bit broken this week. I think the game knew I went on vacation, and decided to break then.
No worries, though. I came home from vacation, and before I even finished unpacking, I fixed the bug. This release has that Mind Control bug fix!
Build 879432026v2.052025-11-02 11:00:23
This version fixes two bugs. You know, I really hate bugs.
Bug #1: I'm not perfect. Every once in a while, a puzzle has a typo in it. When this happened with Cryptogram puzzles, if I corrected that typo on the server, the app didn't update fast enough to show that the typo was fixed. That meant a) you probably saw the typo, and b) many, many people (kindly!) wrote to me about the typos. So I'm really solving problems for both of us with this fix.
Bug #2: Daylight Saving Times changes in the US made older puzzles crash instead of loading for some users. Date math is hard. This bug was embarrassing. It's fixed forever now.
