About

I'm Andrew Gray, founder of Leftward Labs. I've studied Russian since I was 6 years old and built RiftWords solo: the engine, 13-language dictionaries, share cards, the whole lot. Most multilingual games translate the menus and call it done. RiftWords gives each language its own letter frequencies, validation, and daily board, so you're playing a game built for the words you actually speak. The ambition: a daily puzzle people open every morning, in their own language, for years to come.

RiftWords: Multilingual Daily Word Game - A daily word puzzle in 13 languages on day one.

Most daily word puzzles ship English-first and add other languages later as an afterthought. RiftWords is built multilingual from the foundation: 13 languages on day one, each with its own offline dictionary and real letter frequencies, not a translation layer. Tap letters to spell on a 7x10 grid where rift tiles count down to explode, scramble, and deduct points. The daily board is the same seed for everyone who speaks your language. No accounts, no subscription, no streak anxiety. Solo dev.
