Zynga Unveils Letter Lock Feature in Words With Friends

Zynga has just released an exciting new feature for its popular game, Words With Friends, called Letter Lock. This eagerly anticipated update introduces a solo mode that many players have been waiting for. Alongside this, there are other fresh updates to explore. Dive in to learn all about them.

What’s Letter Lock in Words With Friends?

Letter Lock is an engaging 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 align real words in the entry row. As you successfully form words, additional columns unlock, enabling you to create even longer words until you reach the puzzle's word-length goal. Be cautious, though—each incorrect guess reduces your hearts, and too many mistakes will end your game prematurely.

While Letter Lock shares some similarities with Wordle in terms of being a quick and clever daily word challenge, it offers a unique gameplay experience. Check out the Letter Lock feature 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 Letter Lock was developed in response to the requests of long-time players. Introducing new gameplay modes is crucial for keeping 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. If you're a word enthusiast, you can grab the game from the Google Play Store and dive into these exciting updates.
