How it feels

A calm, minimalist word puzzle game where you scan letter tiles to find words under gentle time pressure, with a relaxed mode for untimed play.

What players say

Players describe this as a simple word search with randomly generated boards. The dictionary draws many obscure or invented words, which some find frustrating. It offers both timed and unlocked relaxed modes, and an editor to combine completed rosettes into designs, but players note long achievement grinds and a crash when alt-tabbing.
