Zynga Unveils Letter Lock Feature in Words With Friends

Zynga has introduced an exciting new feature called Letter Lock to its popular game, Words With Friends. This eagerly awaited solo mode has been a long time coming, and it's not the only update. Dive in to learn all about it and more.

What’s Letter Lock in Words With Friends?

Letter Lock is a captivating single-player daily puzzle that offers a fresh twist on word games. Unlike Wordle, where you type in words, Letter Lock challenges you to slide columns of letters up and down to form real words in the entry row. As you successfully create words, more columns unlock, allowing you to build even longer words until you reach the puzzle's word-length goal. Be cautious, though—each incorrect guess depletes your hearts, and running out of hearts ends the puzzle prematurely.

While Letter Lock differs from Wordle, it shares a similar vibe with its quick, clever, and daily word challenges. Get a sneak peek of Letter Lock in action in the trailer below.

The Game Is Trying to Keep Things Fresh

Yaron Leyvand, the executive vice president of mobile games at Zynga, emphasized that the introduction of Letter Lock is a direct response to the desires of long-time players. By incorporating new ways to play, Zynga aims to keep the game vibrant and growing.

In addition to Letter Lock, Zynga is launching a Spring into Words event, packed with new daily puzzles and challenges. Players can enjoy solo modes like Guess Word and Crosswords, along with spring-themed rewards, new Tile Styles, and other special events.
