From Hidden Folks developers Adriaan de Jongh and Aran Koning, Wurdweb is a Scrabble-like game that gives the classic board game a new twist. Once an Apple Arcade exclusive, it’s now on Windows PC via Steam.
A lot of us have moved on from Wordle, the now New York Times-owned word game that swept the world earlier this year. (But some, like my mom — hi, Mom — haven’t, of course.) Without Wordle in my life, I’d dropped off word games entirely until I came across Wurdweb, a Scrabble-like that innovates on the classic boardgame.
Wurdweb was released on Apple Arcade last year, but developers Adriaan de Jongh and Aran Koning (who both worked on Hidden Folks) released the game on Windows PC via Steam this week. Looking at the still images, Wurdweb is almost indistinguishable from Scrabble — but in practice, it’s entirely different.
