Anagrow

How the puzzle works

Start with a four-letter word. Then find the five-letter word that grows from it, then the six.

Each word keeps every letter from the one before and adds one new one. The letters can be in any order, so the five-letter word isn't simply the four-letter word with something stuck on the end.

After each guess, a green tile means the letter is in the right place, an amber tile means the letter is in the word but somewhere else, and a grey tile means it isn't in the word at all. The letters you've found collect in the tray under the puzzle: tap one to type it, or shuffle them to help spot the next word.

Three ways to play

Daily is one ladder a day, the same for everyone. You have fourteen guesses for the whole ladder, not fourteen per word, and solving it each day grows your streak.

Unlimited is ladder after ladder, whenever you like, with fourteen guesses for each one.

Sunset is one ladder against a clock that counts up from 0:00. There's no limit on guesses: solve it as fast as you can, and your best time is your score.

Is there a new puzzle every day?

Yes, one Daily a day, and it's the same one for everyone. It changes at midnight, your local time, and Home shows how long until the next one. Unlimited and Sunset are always there if you'd like more in the meantime.

How do hints work?

There are two, in every mode. Rule out greys a letter that isn't in any word left in the ladder: you get three free for each ladder, and a short video gives you three more. Reveal shows you a letter you're missing or, once you have them all, puts one in its square. Each Reveal is after a short video. Hints never use up a guess or affect your streak.

I've run out of guesses.

In the Daily and Unlimited, you can watch a short video for three more guesses, once for each ladder, or end the game to see the words. Sunset has no limit on guesses, so you can't run out there.

I missed a day. Can I keep my streak?

If it was just one day, usually yes. Home offers to keep your streak for a short video before you play today's Daily, as long as you haven't repaired it in the last week. Then solve today's Daily to keep it growing. With Remove ads, one repair a month is free. If you'd rather start again, tap Start fresh.

Will my progress come with me to a new phone?

Yes, if you use the same account. On iPhone, Anagrow backs up your streak, stats, Spelling and Sound effects choices to your own iCloud (with the same Apple Account), and brings them back when you install it on a new iPhone or reinstall it. On Android, the same copy is part of your phone's backup to your Google account, if backup is turned on. Today's Daily comes across as far as you'd got; an Unlimited or Sunset game you're partway through doesn't, and nor do your reminder and privacy settings. We can't see either copy.

What does Remove ads do?

It's a one-off purchase that takes away the banners and full-screen ads for good. It also gives you one free Reveal in every game and one free streak repair a month. The optional videos are still there whenever you want more guesses, more Rule outs or another Reveal.

I bought Remove ads. How do I get it back on a new phone?

Anagrow checks with the App Store when it opens (with Google Play on Android), so Remove ads comes back by itself as long as you're signed in with the same Apple Account (or Google account). If it doesn't, open the menu (top left) and tap Restore purchase.

The ad won't load.

Ads need a connection, and sometimes there's simply no video available at that moment. If one can't load, Anagrow tells you and keeps trying in the background, so try again in a minute or two. The game never waits for an ad: if a banner or full-screen ad can't load, it's just skipped.

Can I play without a connection?

Yes. All three modes are on your phone, so you can play them anywhere. You need a connection to watch a video (for more guesses, Rule outs, a Reveal or a streak repair), to buy or restore Remove ads, and to back up to iCloud. Banners and full-screen ads only appear when you're online.

How do I turn reminders on or off?

Open the menu (top left) and use the Daily reminder switch. It's in Stats too, on the Daily tab. Reminders are off until you turn them on. They come at 9am at first, then a little before the time you usually play, and not at all once you've played that day. If notifications are off for Anagrow, it'll point you to the iPhone's Settings to turn them on.

Can I have American spelling?

Yes. Open the menu and tap Spelling to choose British or American. It starts on the one for your region, and changes how Anagrow spells a few words, like colour and grey. The puzzles stay the same, and both spellings count when you guess.

How do I turn the sounds off?

Open the menu (top left) and use the Sound effects switch. The sounds play even when your phone is on silent, as in most games, and your own music or podcast keeps playing alongside them.

How do I change my privacy choices?

Open the menu (top left) and tap Privacy options, or find it at the bottom of Stats. It appears if you're in a region where we asked for your consent. To change whether Anagrow can track you, go to iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. There's more on the privacy page.

I think a word in a puzzle is wrong.

Please tell us. We check the word lists carefully but they're long, and a word that's fine in one part of the world can look very odd in another. For the Daily, send us the date and the word. For Unlimited or Sunset, send us the ladder's three words. We'll take a look.

Quizmo

How Quizmo works

Quizmo has three games. Quiz has over 10,000 multiple-choice questions in ten categories, each with a fun fact: play a ten-question Quick play round, or Build a round with your own categories, length and difficulty. World asks you to name countries from their flags and their outlines on a globe. Logos asks you to name the brands behind logos with the names taken off.

In World and Logos, levels open as you name things, so you can skip the ones you don't know. Pass and play lets two to four players take turns on one phone.

How do hints work?

In World and Logos, a hint comes in three steps: the first letter and the length, then more letters, then the answer. The first step is free. Unless you've bought Remove ads, more letters and the answer each ask you to watch a short ad first. With ads removed, every hint is ad-free.

I bought Remove ads. How do I get it back on a new phone?

On iPhone, Quizmo checks with the App Store when it opens, so Remove ads comes back by itself as long as you're signed in with the same Apple Account. On Android, it checks with Google Play when it opens. On either, you can ask again with Settings > Restore purchases.

Will my progress come with me to a new phone?

Yes, if you use the same account. On iPhone, Quizmo backs up your progress to your own iCloud. On Android, it's part of your phone's backup to your Google account, if backup is turned on, and your Haptics and Reminders settings come too. We can't see either copy.

The questions or logos don't suit where I live.

Quizmo picks regional questions and Logos levels for where you are: UK, US, Australia & New Zealand, or Rest of world. You can change it in Settings > Region.

I think a question is wrong.

After you answer, tap Report this question under the fun fact and pick a reason. We read every report. If you'd like to tell us more, email us with the question.

How do I turn reminders on or off?

Settings > Reminders. Reminders are off until you turn them on.

How do I change my privacy choices?

Settings > Privacy choices (Privacy in Quizmo 1.0). Where Google's consent form applies, it opens again so you can change your answers. On iPhone, you can also go to iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. There's more on the privacy page.

How do I have my data deleted?

Copy your support ID in Quizmo (Settings > About Quizmo > Copy my support ID; on iPhone, from Quizmo 1.1.0) and email it to us with the subject "Delete my Quizmo data". The privacy page explains what we delete and how long it takes.

Anaverse

How Anaverse works

Anaverse is a word game for iPhone. Swipe across a wheel of three to seven letters, or tap the letters and press Go. Words the crossword needs drop into their squares. Find them all to finish the level. Other real words earn a bonus coin the first time you find each one.

There are 2,000 levels across 100 planets, with chests and bonus levels along the way. Hints reveal letters when you need a hand. Anaverse is free to play, needs no account and works offline. Ads, videos, Shop prices and purchases need a connection. There's more on the Anaverse page.

Where can I get Anaverse?

Anaverse is coming soon to iPhone. It isn't on the App Store yet. Android will follow later.

Out now on iPhone, from the App Store: there's a link on the Anaverse page. Android will follow later.

How do hints work?

You start with a shared stock of three hints. You can use that stock or spend coins: 100 reveals one letter, 200 lets you choose a square with the space laser, and 300 reveals four letters with the meteor shower. The meteor shower unlocks at level 5 and the space laser at level 8. Each hint's first-time tip gives you one free use. Shuffle moves the letters round.

I'm stuck and can't afford a hint.

Anaverse offers help when you've gone a while without a word. Below 1,000 coins, these offers are free if you watch a video; at 1,000 or more, they're offered at their coin price. If you can't afford the 100-coin hint, it's always offered free by video. If no video can load, that hint is offered free without one after 45 seconds without a word.

What counts as a bonus word?

A real word made from the level's letters that the crossword doesn't need. Each different bonus word earns one coin. Anaverse accepts about 24,500 words. Tap the ABC bubble to see the bonus words you've found.

Can I look up a word's meaning?

Tap the ABC bubble, then the Meanings tab, to see definitions for the words you've found in the level. The dictionary is built in and works offline. It covers about 23,300 words; others show "No definition yet".

What's the glowing word? And the extra row?

From level 2, each level has a glowing word. Spell it within 30 seconds of its glow for bonus coins. Some levels also have a Coin Row: an optional extra word below the crossword that earns bonus coins.

Are there free coins?

Yes. The Shop has free coins every day. After your first two levels, there's also a free daily chest about once a day, with extra coins by video. Three daily quests give you more to work towards, with a fourth available by video. Tap the coin counter on Home or the play screen to open the Shop.

How does the coin vault work?

The vault collects coins for every level you finish, up to a limit. Once it holds enough, you can pay to open it and take all the coins inside. Opening it is optional.

What does Remove ads remove?

Remove ads takes away the banner and the ad breaks for good. Optional reward videos stay, so you can still choose to watch one for a reward.

I bought Remove ads. How do I get it back on a new phone?

Anaverse checks with the App Store when it opens, so Remove ads comes back by itself as long as you're signed in with the same Apple Account you bought it with. You can also ask again with Settings > Restore purchases.

Will my progress come with me to a new phone?

Yes, if you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple Account. Anaverse backs up your progress, coins included, to your own iCloud, so a new iPhone or a reinstall carries on where you left off. We can't see that copy. If something doesn't come back, email us.

Can I play offline?

Yes. The levels and dictionary are built in. Ads, reward videos, Shop prices and purchases need an internet connection.

Why can't I hear the game?

Anaverse follows your iPhone's Ring/Silent switch, so silent mode silences the game. You can also check Music and Sound effects in Settings. The music stops while other audio is playing.

What counts towards my rank?

Crossword words, bonus words and Coin Row words you find all count. Words completed by a hint don't. Each new rank gives you 20 coins.

What happens after level 2,000?

You can keep playing. The second half of the levels repeats, with the level numbers carrying on.

How do I change my privacy choices?

Settings (the gear at the top of Home) > Privacy choices reopens Google's consent form where it applies: the UK, the EEA and Switzerland. On iPhone, you can also go to iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. There's more on the privacy page.

How do I have my data deleted?

Email contact@sausagestudios.com and ask to have your Anaverse data deleted. There's no support ID in Anaverse, and we usually can't single out one player's data. The privacy page explains what we can find and delete.

I've found a problem. How do I tell you?

Email contact@sausagestudios.com with what happened and, if it's about a level, its number. A screenshot helps too. A real person reads everything.

Something else

Bugs, ideas, complaints and hellos all go to contact@sausagestudios.com.

It helps if you say which game it's about and mention your phone model and its software version, but don't worry if you'd rather not.
