Detective Worden

Detective Worden is a narrative-driven word puzzle game set in a noir world, inspired by Wordle and classic detective fiction. A mysterious informant sends you cryptic clues as single words; you use deduction, pattern recognition and intuition to piece together the truth.

Investigate the case

In Story Mode, you investigate a single case, with each clue drawing you further into the mystery. Free Mode lets you practice with customizable word length, difficulty, attempt limits and time constraints. The Daily Challenge offers a new puzzle each day, where you compete with players around the world in logic and speed.

Track your progress

Stats and history let you review past answers, performance and overall progress. The game also features a retro typewriter-style interface, nostalgic visuals and sound design.
