Lexil - Seven Letters, No Keyboard

The most-reviewed word game on this platform is a Wordle clone, and the reviews all say the same thing: the letters are too small to hit. A twenty-six key keyboard on a 45 mm watch leaves each key about three millimetres of glass, which is half a fingertip. That is not difficulty. That is a typo, then another one, and then the app is uninstalled. Lexil has no keyboard. There are seven letters and nothing else: six on a ring and one in the middle, each tile about a fifth of the screen across and roughly ten times the target area of a key. Words run from four letters up, any letter may be used again, and every word has to use the one in the middle, which is what stops seven big buttons from being a small game. Using all seven in a single word is a pangram and pays seven extra. WHAT IT DOES - Seven tiles instead of a keyboard, none of them smaller than a fingertip - Four hundred puzzles held on the watch, one a day, averaging thirty-one words each - Five ranks, Beginner through to Genius, each cut at a share of that day's own point total, so Great means the same amount of work on a twenty-word day as on a forty - Four letters score one point, longer words score their length, a pangram adds seven, so a rank cannot be reached by grinding out the easy words - Shuffle the six outer letters: the same set in a new order reads as a new puzzle - A found-words page, in alphabetical order or longest first - Free play on a puzzle from another day, kept separately from the day in progress - A streak of days with at least one word found, best rank, genius days, pangrams and lifetime points - Every word is written down the moment it lands, so a dropped wrist costs nothing - The interface is in five languages; the puzzles themselves are English - On-watch settings, nothing sent anywhere WHAT IT NEEDS Nothing but the watch. No phone, no signal, no account.
