Daily word puzzle
Use Dualword as a short daily word habit: two five-letter answers, one board, then stop.
Keep the session small
The best daily puzzles fit between coffee and the next meeting. Open Dualword, spend a few minutes on both words, then stop. Play free in the browser at dualword.swizzleworks.com.
You do not need a public leaderboard for that to count. Reading the split tiles is the reward.
Make it stick without guilt
Miss a day? Start again tomorrow. Dualword flips at midnight in America/New York. Streaks count finished dailies, win or loss, but a broken streak is not homework.
If you want a letter-path board instead of hidden answers, Onword is the path habit. If you want two visible words and one letter to move, that is Affix. The word-path solver guide has habits that do not spoil the Onword catalog.
If someone younger wants in
Fasty Letters is the ages 4 to 7 alphabet game in our education lineup. Dualword, Affix, and Onword stay the adult word-puzzle options.
