Knotwords is a minimal and elegant logic puzzle — with words. Arrange each section so every word across and down is valid. It may look difficult at first, but you'll be surprised at how quickly you pick it up! This is the kind of game I've been trying to design my whole career — I hope you like it

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Hey all! This build provides new puzzles, and fixes some freezing issues and large save issues. Thanks so much for playing, and reach out to us at support@playknotwords.com if you have any issues!
Hi all! This update comes with a few minor bugfixes, as well as new puzzles and an updated wordlist. Thank you all so much for sticking with Knotwords, and we hope you continue to enjoy it!
Hope you've all been enjoying the new share feature! This update fixes an issue with the in-game statistics not correctly counting how many times you've shared a puzzle, and the default puzzle name on sharing. It also has some minor puzzle fixes.
So sorry for the error - everyone should have their save files back!
Hope you've been enjoying Knotwords! We've made a lot of updates, big and small. The biggest thing you may notice is a new Share feature - try it out! If you play with "correct" word feedback, a big new change is that we no longer allow alternative solutions - so it will only consider "correct" the original permutation we created. We've also made a lot of stability updates behind the scenes, and fixed some lingering issues with Achievements. You can also turn off the updates about streaks if you want in the settings menu. As always, if there are any issues, let us know at support@playknotwords

This is the initial version of Knotwords!
Wordle and its many, many clones—some of which are quite good games in their own right—have dominated the daily puzzle discourse for the past several months. But I'm happy to say there's a new contender in the daily word puzzle arena. I've been playing it all morning and I'm typing this as fast as possible so I can go right back to playing it all afternoon... Read more.
