About this game
Dave's Word Game (known as DWG by fans) is an important new daily word game, where you must strategically use your best words to maximise your score every day.
STRATEGIC WORD FINDING
Each day, everyone gets the same fresh board, so you can truly measure up against your friends. Your goal isn’t just to find words, it’s to shape the board, visualising how every move will change your future options. Clear things too early and you might lock yourself out of a high score; play patiently and cleverly, and you’ll give yourself a real shot at the top of the leaderboard.
DAILY AND MONTHLY LEADERBOARDS
You can play the board as many times in one day as you like - chase the top spot on the daily leaderboard, or play regularly in an attempt to win the monthly leaderboard and be immortalised for all time, or at least until the sun explodes and we have to turn the servers off.
ENDLESS FUN FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THE FAMILY
Want more than your Daily game? Dave provides. Chill with our Endless mode, tackle our devilishly tricky puzzles in Puzzle mode, or beat the clock in Timed. Play it your way, as long as it's with letters, we don't use numbers in this household.
GIVE ME THE JUICE
Daily, Endless, Puzzle and Timed modes.
More than just finding words - strategy is key!

Steam Deck support info
Hi everyone,We hope you're as excited about DWG's Next Fest Demo, and impending launch, as we are!We wanted to give a little info about Steam Deck compatibility, as Valve haven't reviewed it yet. In short, it works great!We ship a native Linux build, and DWG has full controller support, so everything works as you'd expect with good performance, and the game is very small so won't take up much space on your device.Here's a picture of it (yes, my table needs polishing, don't remind me):See you soon!Read full article on Community Announcements (JoelOtter)
