Overview
Onword is a daily word-path puzzle from Swizzle Works. Letters sit on a grid. You start on the marked cell and draw one continuous trail through neighboring letters, diagonals included, without reusing a cell. Each word on the trail connects in meaning to the next, so the board reads like a short chain by the time you finish. One board a day is the habit. Practice boards are there when you want more without touching your streak. Play free in the browser, or download Onword Daily on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Android is not out yet.
This Onword is the daily word-path puzzle from the independent studio Swizzle Works, listed on the App Store as Onword Daily. Not to be confused with the Onword speed reader at onword.app, the OnWord aphasia communication aid, the Onword AI workflow product, the older Onword scoring grid game from Thunder Bay, or the itch.io game called ONWORD. It is also not 'onward' and not a dictation app.

Key features
One trail, start to finish
Start on the marked cell. Move to any neighboring letter, including diagonals. Never reuse a cell. The trail has to spell each word in order.
Words that connect in meaning
Each word on the trail is tied to the next. CAT leads to DOG on the tutorial board. The theme is the hint.
Clean, readable boards
Typography and spacing stay clear so the puzzle stays front and center.
Play on the web or iPhone
The browser version is live, and Onword Daily is free on the App Store with no subscription. Android is not out yet.

Frequently asked questions
Where Onword runs, who it is for, and how a path puzzle differs from a guessing game or a word finder.
What kind of game is Onword?
Onword is a daily word-path puzzle. Letters sit on a grid. You start on the marked cell and draw one continuous trail through neighboring letters, diagonals included, without reusing a cell. Each word on the trail connects in meaning to the next.
Where can I play Onword today?
Play free in the browser at onword.swizzleworks.com, or download Onword Daily on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Daily boards are also discussed in r/onword.
Is Onword Daily free on iOS? What about Android?
Yes. Onword Daily is free on the App Store, with no subscription. Optional sign-in syncs your streak between the web and your phone. Android is not out yet. Join the waitlist if you want a note when it ships.
Can a word finder or anagram solver solve an Onword board?
Not well. A word finder lists every dictionary word in a set of letters. Onword also needs the word to fit one trail on this board, in order, next to the word before it. Most of a finder's list cannot be traced. The word path puzzle tips cover how to get unstuck without a list.
