About this game
WordHush
Most word search apps pad the grid out — ten words floating in a sea of random letters, none of them crossing, so you scan the edges and you're done in ninety seconds. WordHush is the opposite: the generator packs words in and lets them share letters, so a single letter can belong to three different answers at once.
How difficulty scales:
- Easy (8x8, 6 words): horizontal and vertical only
- Medium (10x10, 10 words): diagonals come in
- Hard (12x12, 12 words): reversed words start appearing
- Expert (14x14, 15 words) and Extreme (16x16, 20 words): all eight directions
Features:
- Themed word packs (animals, food, travel, music, and more) — not a generic dictionary
- Daily puzzle, tuned to the difficulty you actually play — archive goes back to January 1st
- Weekly challenge
- Timer that records your time but never counts down — no way to lose a grid
- Light and dark mode
- Free, with an optional one-time purchase to remove ads
- English, French, and Spanish
Play free on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordhush.app

AI coding assistants (Claude Code) were used throughout development — writing and reviewing code, tests, and documentation. Game design, difficulty balancing, word packs, and QA decisions were made by me.
