Description
FOREWORD is a daily word chain puzzle.
Every day, 16 letter-fragment tiles. Your goal: weave them into a chain of 5 words. The catch — 4 of the tiles are "thread tiles," each one secretly shared between two consecutive words. A thread tile ends one word and simultaneously begins the next.
Finding which tiles are threads, and where they sit in the chain, is the puzzle.
THE FOREWORD MOMENT
The aha lands when you spot a tile and realize it doesn't just finish one word — it starts the next. That's a thread. Find all four and you've written the foreword.
WHAT'S IN IT

• Three difficulty tiers across the week — easier Mon/Tue, hardest Sat/Sun
• Hidden theme revealed only after you solve
• Discoveries: bonus points for any real English word you spot in the tiles — 2, 3, 4, or 5 letters, longer finds worth more
• Streaks, scores, calendar heatmap
• Three hints per puzzle, plus an optional rewarded-ad bonus hint
• Daily Game Center leaderboard with friend comparison
• Native share card with your solve emoji grid
• Achievement-tied rank ladder: Novice → Apprentice → Adept → Skilled → Expert → Master → Tight Weave

What's new (v1.1.2)
A new look. More ways to score.
The board is one unified grid now — solved words rise to the top as you find them. Tiles fly into place. When a word completes, the thread tile it shares with the next word lights up where it'll land, hinting at what's coming.
Discoveries got bigger. Tap 2, 3, or 4 tiles to claim any real English word you spot in the fragments — not just full 4-tile finds. Longer discoveries are worth more points.
A new Words Found chip in the header opens a panel listing every discovery you've made today, with per-word points and tile counts.
A few smaller polish wins: the selection tray stays pinned at the bottom of the screen while you build a word, the completion screen fits the whole result on one viewport, and tile contrast got bumped so the text always reads against the background.
Every word still needs a foreword.
