Simple but addictive word guessing game, inspired by Wordle / Jotto / Word Mastermind with loads of new features on top and no adverts, purchases or data, ever.

***Game Features***

- Number total mode where you're shown the sum of the answer, to help you decipher the puzzle
- 9 color themes, including a high-contrast theme and “Beeber’s Theme”, aimed at different sight preferences / color deficiencies
- Persistence so games can continue after closing the app

** Game Options / Toggles ***
- Disable letters that we know are not in the word (makes it harder than Wordle)
- Hide incorrect keys to make the keyboard options smaller and make it easier to visualise than other number or word puzzle games
- Allow submission of non dictionary words to allow for easier deciphering of hard puzzles.
- Toggle to automatically fill in previously correct guesses.
- Haptic feedback option that makes your device vibrate on performing an action
- Option to switch the delete and submit keys
- Option to remove words with duplicate letters

** Emoji Mastermind Mode**
- Similar to the main game, you guess at a combination of emoji.
- The results show how many are correct / almost correct but not which ones
- This makes it a tougher, logic game of eliminating the possibilities in 12 attempts!

** Other features ***
- Accessible by default. Big focus on colors and border styles, accessibility labels and touchable areas.- 8 color themes including high visibility
- Letter cursor on screen to show your current input
- Landscape mode for tablets

***Puzzword Help***
The game is simple. Take up to 6 guesses at a 4, 5, 6 or 7 letter word. For each guess, the results will show which letters are in the correct place (green with a solid border), in the wrong place (yellow with a dashed border) and which are not found in the word.

***About Puzzword***
Like the recent Wordle craze, Jotto, or the old game "Word Mastermind" but with a few tweaks. Puzzword has more word sizes, modes that change the difficulty of the game entirely.

***Wordle and More***
Puzzword is not just another Wordle clone. On top of having the core Wordle puzzle functionality, you can make the word puzzles slightly easier by disabling the "dictionary words" option, use 2 hints per game to get free letters and even the ability to remove words that have duplicate letters. Number puzzles have the option to see the total of the values, which changes the dynamic entirely.

***Why it is free***
My aim is to produce a high quality word puzzle game / number puzzle game that everyone can enjoy. It is entirely free and always will be. It's never going to have adverts or in-app purchases. There is no data collected by the app. It's also child-friendly as there are no offensive words, which makes it a great spelling game.

I want to make Puzzword one of the best quality word games / number games on the store, so feedback is truly welcomed and appreciated. There are lots of wordle style games since the popularity of the web version rocketed but Puzzword aims to be head and shoulders above the rest. With more features, more options and a slicker, more accessible UI.

Loads of feedback actioned already, please keep it coming.
