Yelken: Word Game & Puzzles

Yelken brings five word games together on one sea: crossword, word search, hangman, a word connect game and a voyage that ties them all together. Play offline, and if you like, use the same games to learn Spanish or Turkish vocabulary.

FIVE WORD GAMES

• Crossing Routes (crossword) — Read the clues and fit the intersecting words into the grid. • Word Hunt (word search) — Trace the words hidden in the letter grid with your finger; some of them turn a corner. • Compass Rose (word connect) — Join the letters on the compass to build words; every extra word you find pays bonus gold. • Sailor's Knot (hangman) — Guess the word letter by letter; every miss tightens the noose. Proverbs and idioms show up too. • Free Voyage — Three minutes at sea: steer your ship, collect letter crates, build words and fill port orders.

PLAY WORDS OR LEARN A LANGUAGE

You choose the interface language and the puzzle language separately. Match them and you get a pure word game: clues are crossword clues, with proverbs and idioms in the mix. Set the puzzle language to Spanish or Turkish and you are in learning mode: the clue is the meaning in your language, and every word you solve enters a spaced repetition schedule that brings it back before you forget it. Words you know return rarely; words you struggle with return often.

English, Turkish and Spanish are ready, and all nine language pairs work.

OFFLINE WORD GAME

Every word lives on your device. Play on a plane, on the metro, with no Wi-Fi at all — only Duel, the Weekly Race and the online leaderboard need a connection.

DAILY VOYAGE

One puzzle a day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak and the reward grows; miss a day and a streak freeze steps in. Share your result with friends. There are three daily quests too; finish all three to open the day's chest.

WEEKLY RACE

Every week everyone plays the same puzzles in a different game mode. Play as many runs as you like; each day's best five runs count toward your weekly score. The top three of the week win gold and gems, and goal chests open as your score passes each threshold. Free to enter; official rules are in the app.
