“Pure Word Play” is a crossword game I made in Unity. I wanted to create a crossword game that wasn’t littered with ads and UI noise, just simple and fun without worrying about being interrupted on each turn.

It is by no means feature complete right now. It supports local player vs player on the same device (or you can play against yourself). My plan is to add online multiplayer (and leaderboards) as well as playing solo against a bot.

The game is primarily designed for mobile devices in portrait mode.

You can try out the game in a browser here: https://pure-virtual.itch.io/pure-word-play.

Fell free to reach out if you have any feedback.
