Word Forward isn’t about spelling the longest words or the most clever. It’s about using chess-like strategy to clear every tile and declare victory in 500 puzzles. It requires cunning and strategy - Word Forward is a brain teaser that will really make you think!

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $4.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
