Sidewords is unlike any other word puzzle game you’ve played before. Each puzzle is made up of a grid with a word on the top and left sides. The object is to fill in the grid by tapping on the letters to form valid words. Valid words must be at least three letters long and use letters from both the top and left sides. Words aren’t allowed to overlap within the grid, so you may need to remove earlier words to make room for later ones and change your strategy. All of this may sound a little confusing, but the level progression ensures that you’ll naturally get a hang of the mechanics. A video tutorial is available in case you need additional tips.
