Who we are

Headword Games is a small team. We build each game, write the puzzles and answer the email. Our games are meant to take a few minutes, cost nothing, and be worth coming back to tomorrow.

Why “headword”

A headword is the word a dictionary entry starts with. Each of our games is named after one: seldom, whither, nigh. Old words, new games.
