As a private detective, you’ll crack word clues left by a mysterious informant, gather evidence, and uncover the truth hidden in the shadows.
Detective Worden
SteamDetective Worden is a narrative-driven word puzzle game set in a noir world, inspired by Wordle and classic detective fiction. Each word brings you one step closer to the truth.
A mysterious informant sends you cryptic clues in the form of single words. Through deduction, pattern recognition, and a touch of intuition, you'll sift through layers of language to piece together the full picture.
Whether you're pursuing the truth in Story Mode, practicing freely in Free Mode, or testing your skills against others in the Daily Challenge, the game rewards careful thought and calm reasoning.
