From the creator of SpellTower, comes a new and completely original word game!
Anagrams meets Word Search, with a sprinkle of Crosswords.
Typeshift is the modern anagram puzzle; re-imagined from the ground up, combining wordplay, modern game design, and a mobile-first approach.
In most anagram games, you search for new combinations within a single word, but in Typeshift, you search within three to five words stacked & scrambled up together.
Shift columns of letters up and down as you try to spell words in the center row. Play continues until you have used all letters in a puzzle at least once.
Special Clue Puzzles combine Crosswords with Anagrams as you match clever clues provided by Typeshift's various puzzle authors.

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Typeshift continues my quest to re-imagine classic newspaper games in the digital era.
Where SpellTower tackled word search and Really Bad Chess handled chess puzzles, Typeshift re-examines Anagrams and Crosswords.
Typeshift has been a joy to develop, and I hope you have as much fun playing it as I had making it.
As always, thanks so much for your support!

Editors’ Choice
This mesmerising word game takes a winning idea—gameplay that resembles lockpicking—and runs with it. Sliding columns of letters up and down to form words is brain-teasing fun, and moving those dials feels genuinely good in a way we didn’t expect. We’re enjoying all the puzzles, but the ones with crossword-style clues really show off the quirky humour we adored in Zach Gage’s earlier games (like Ridiculous Fishing and Really Bad Chess).
