Tiled Words

Someone dropped a crossword and it broke into tiles. In Tiled Words you slide those tiles around and spin them until every word reads properly again.

Two moves, two jobs

Dragging puts a tile in the right part of the grid. Tapping spins it so its letters face the right way. Most stuck moments come from doing only one of the two, so when a tile will not fit, turn it before you give up on the spot.

Why the theme helps

Every puzzle has a theme, and the clues sit under it. Once you guess one word, the theme often gives away the next. If the theme is animals and you already have lion, the other answers are probably animals too, which makes short clues much easier to crack.

Before you start Tiled Words

Read the theme before anything else. It tells you what kind of words to expect.
Solve the clues on paper first. Knowing the words makes it much easier to see which tile goes where.
Spin a tile before you move it. The right letter is often already on it, just turned the wrong way.
Keep your three reveals for the last stubborn corner.
