Motif: Word Challenge

Category

Description of App

Swap letters and find ten words a day to take on the world. Jump into the adventure of the new Ascension mode! Free, with no ads or account required.

Find ten hidden words every day and aim for the highest score on the daily grid! Motif is a strategic word game that combines clever wordplay with match-3-inspired mechanics. Free, ad-free, and no account required.

THE WORD GAME WHERE WORDS HIDE!

Swap letters, spot words, and plan your next move. Swipe across words to clear them from the grid. Every move shapes what comes next, so choose wisely!

Everyone starts with the same grid. Submit your score if you’d like, and see where you rank on the daily leaderboard.

NEW ASCENSION MODE! Motif becomes a full-blown adventure! Climb ten increasingly tough levels packed with bosses, special tiles, and bonuses galore. Motif has never played like this—and it’s free!

ZEN MODES

Want to play without the pressure? Zen Mode gives you fresh grids and the same rules, but with no word limit and no leaderboard. Take your time and play at your own pace.

+ “À LA CARTE” MODE! You set your own rules: swipe words bottom to top, right to left, in an L shape, use unlimited letter swaps… You call the shots.

+ M0T1F MODE! This time, numbers take the stage: swipe tiles to add them up and hit the target number. Careful, this one’s dangerously addictive!

MAKE IT YOURS

Customize Motif to suit your style: fonts, colors, tile shapes, score display, backgrounds… even the app icon.

NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT.

Just open Motif and start playing. No internet connection is required to play.

The leaderboard is entirely optional. If you choose to participate, only your score, the date, and the grid language are submitted. No account, no advertising ID, and no player profile.

Individual scores are deleted after 30 days.

Accessibility Comments

This app is fully accessible and playable. With VoiceOver on, there are two modes to switch from once you enter a game. They are switched into with two radio buttons on the bottom of the screen. They're self-explanitory, but in the tutorial, if it says to swap a tile, or swipe to swap tiles, you'll want to select swap two letters. To build a word, do the button that says build a word. I don't know if he's explained this better or not as I have done the tutorial a long time ago.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

This is a fun game but can take a while. You are building words letter by letter oon a grid. In the classic mode I'm used to, you have to build ten words. I haven't gotten to play the new ones yet.
