What you get
A daily puzzle, every day, free. No catches. Monday through Friday brings a single acrostic; weekends bring the harder double acrostic format, where both the first and last letters of your answers spell hidden words.
A starter library of 20+ puzzles included from day one — not a crippled demo, but genuinely satisfying puzzles you can play at your own pace.
Themed puzzle packs spanning Weather, Literature, Nature, Mythology, History, and more. Each pack is a one-time purchase — buy it once, keep it forever.
Two clue styles. Modern clues are clean and direct. Classic clues are lyrical and cryptic, inspired by the Victorian parlour tradition. Earn Classic mode by playing — it's a reward, not a paywall.
Daily streaks that track your consistency, with milestone rewards that feel earned.
A hint system that's generous, not predatory. Hints replenish through daily play, with optional bundles if you want more.

Our Philosophy: Fair by Design
Lamplit costs nothing to start and a single fair price to unlock everything. We believe puzzle games should respect your time, your wallet, and your intelligence.
- Free forever: The daily puzzle and starter library never expire and never degrade.
- No Ads –– ever.
- One-time unlock (~$4.99): Opens the full base library of 200+ puzzles. One price. Done.
- Themed packs ($1.99–$2.99): Optional expansions for topics you love. Non-consumable — buy once, yours forever.
- No subscription: We won’t charge you monthly to play a word game.
We’d rather earn your trust with a fair price than extract your patience with a free-to-play treadmill.
