Spindle - A word chain puzzle 1.0

Spindle offers a straightforward gameplay experience that challenges players to think strategically. The objective is to create a chain of 4-letter words, starting with a given word and manipulating a letter spindle to form a new word.

While the premise might seem simple at first, the game quickly becomes more complex as spindles lock with each new word, limiting the available options. Players must carefully plan their moves to unlock the spindles and continue the chain.

For example, starting with the word CAMP, players can progress to CAME, COME, DOME, and finally DONE. Once all spindles have been turned, they reset, initiating a new cycle. However, not all word combinations are valid, adding a layer of challenge.

Spindle boasts an extensive dictionary featuring over 4,000 four-letter words. The game concludes if a submitted word is not in the dictionary or when no further words can be formed with the remaining spindles.

Players can track their progress through the word chain display at the top of the screen, with a bar indicating the number of viable word options available. Utilizing strategic saves such as 'Undo' or 'Unlock' can help players navigate challenging situations.

Available on iOS devices including iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, Spindle offers seamless gameplay syncing via iCloud. This feature ensures continuity across devices, enabling players to transition between platforms effortlessly.

How extensive can your word chain grow? The answer lies in your vocabulary prowess and tactical skills in navigating the evolving gameplay challenges presented by Spindle.
