Our take on Anagrams
Instead of keeping one pace throughout, the game offers distinct ways to approach its anagrams: an endless mode with unlimited hints, a mode with timed rounds, and a mode where players select difficulty. The underlying word-puzzle format stays consistent across those options.
What is Anagrams?
Anagrams is a minimalist Match-2 word game in which players collect letter tiles to solve anagrams.
It contains more than 900 puzzles across 36 categories, including science and technology, countries, and major cities. Matching tiles fills colored meters, and four special abilities are available. Solving five anagrams earns a key, which can unlock categories and three bonus modes containing 500 new anagrams. Zen Mode offers endless puzzles with unlimited hints and selectable colors. Blitz Mode sets a 60-second limit for each anagram or a 10-second limit for each match; the game gets harder the longer a session continues. Free Mode lets players choose a difficulty. The game also includes an ambient soundtrack and dark mode.
