As you all know, Smartle word puzzle has 2 different modes. The Daily Word Puzzle is a unique word play challenge that updates every day. Players must solve one specific puzzle within a day. Daily word puzzle designed for consistent daily practice and a bit of deep, reflective thinking without a rush.
In contrast, the Sprint game is a timed challenge where you have to solve 5 word puzzles within a short time limit. It’s all about speed, quick recall, and reacting fast under pressure. You can play as many Sprint word games per day as you want to.
Both games aim to boost your vocabulary and language skills but in different ways: one focuses on daily, thoughtful engagement, and the other on rapid-fire, adrenaline-filled word solving.
We see that players love both of these modes and were thinking, can we make our Smartle word game even better by adding more modes? We are thinking about adding one of the following three modes.
A narrative-driven challenge where each daily word puzzle you solve creates a new chapter in an interactive story. It’s a daily challenge where players can play as many games as they want. As they progress, their word choices in the puzzles affect the “storyline”. Each set of 5 words would add a paragraph or chapter for the today's story. In the end the player would get a unique story for today.
We like this idea but are not sore that it will be fun enough for the players. Also this would require having AI in the Smartle. So it will take quite some time before it’s done.
This is something that a lot of word games lack. The social element that allows players to compete against friends or other players in real time. In this mode, speed and accuracy matter as you race to solve puzzles head-to-head, with leaderboards and daily tournaments to keep the competitive spirit high.
This mode is not just about winning; it also helps you learn under pressure. The fast-paced game pushes you to grow your vocabulary quickly, make quick decisions, and find smart ways to play. Whether you're competing against a friend or a stranger from another country, Multiplayer Showdown makes language learning exciting and competitive, where every word matters.
This mode challenges players to solve word puzzles continuously without getting stuck. Players start with 5 lives, and lose a life each time they encounter an unsolvable state and need to break down existing words. The game ends when all lives are lost. Puzzle difficulty increases gradually, and players earn rewards based on their streak without mistakes. This mode tests vocabulary and planning skills to avoid getting blocked.
We’re still evaluating which direction to take, but one thing is certain — Smartle will continue evolving to keep your word game experience both fun and rewarding. Of course adding new modes means that we will keep daily word puzzle and sprint mode that everyone loves. We’d love to hear from you! Which mode sounds the most exciting? Or maybe you have an even better idea? Join the discussion in our Smartle Discord community and help us shape the future of the game.
