A Word Puzzle Game Exclusively for Playdate
You are a code breaker who stumbles across a nifty little device that spits out coins every time you solve a code. Sounds simple enough! As your wealth grows, so do the questions: Where did this device come from? Who made it? What happens if you keep playing, or worse yet, if you walk away from it all?
You are the key to breaking the loop.
Do you like word games with hours of gameplay spread across bite-sized puzzles?
CodeWordPlay is a challenging four (and now five!) letter word game exclusively for Playdate, a beautiful little handheld console with a crank created by the fine people at Panic. Except CodeWordPlay is a little more than that. Is it a little like Wordle? Yes. Is it also nothing like Wordle? Also yes. It doesn't have any of the dirty four letter words you're thinking of, but it might have best, word, game, play, date and other great four-letter words in it.
And now in update 1.4: Five letter words!
CodeWordPlay features challenging timer-based modes as well as a relaxed, timer-free mode where you may crack codes at your own pace.

CodeWordPlay has a couple of unlockable items and plenty of surprises. By the end you’ll agree this game is *very* unique, and not like other word games. CodeWordPlay is a great complement to the Playdate's Season 1 games.
