Description

Vocabulatrix is a word puzzle game for the end of the day, waiting in line for coffee — whenever. You swipe letters around a cipher wheel to crack the code. Every fifth puzzle hands you a word worth keeping (in your Codebook, of course, you word sleuth) with a memorable plain definition.

Features

4,000 puzzles, and the same short words don't keep coming back
A narrator with some sass
Music that mirrors your progress
A new puzzle every day, and Sprint: three minutes, as many words as you can
