About TypeShift
Anagrams, word search and a touch of crosswords all meet in TypeShift, a modern word puzzle designed with mobile play in mind. Your job is to form words by lining up the right letters, using the vertical arrow keys to shift the options until a word appears.
It is quiet, thoughtful and surprisingly addictive. Letters that fail in one position might fit perfectly in another, so cycle through the possibilities rather than giving up on a combination. Short common words are a good start, with longer ones coming once the board gets familiar. It runs in a browser, and a keyboard makes the controls easiest.
