Zynga Introduces Letter Lock Mode in Words With Friends

Zynga has launched an exciting new feature, Letter Lock, for its popular game Words With Friends. This solo mode is a long-awaited addition for players. Alongside it, other fresh updates have arrived. Read on to discover more details.

What Is Letter Lock in Words With Friends?

Letter Lock is a daily single-player puzzle. Unlike Wordle’s word-typing mechanic, you slide letter columns up or down to form valid words in the entry row.

Successfully aligning a word unlocks additional columns, allowing you to create longer words. The challenge continues until you reach the puzzle’s word-length target. Each wrong guess reduces your hearts, and losing too many ends the puzzle.

While distinct from Wordle, Letter Lock shares a similar quick, engaging, daily word-challenge feel. Check out the Letter Lock feature in the Words With Friends trailer below.

Keeping the Game Vibrant and Engaging

Yaron Leyvand, executive vice president of mobile games at Zynga, explained that Letter Lock responds to player demands for fresh gameplay. Introducing innovative modes ensures the game remains dynamic and appealing.

In addition to Letter Lock, Zynga is launching a Spring into Words event, featuring new daily puzzles and challenges. Players can enjoy solo modes like Guess Word and Crosswords, along with spring-themed rewards, unique Tile Styles, and exclusive events.

Download the game from the Google Play Store if you love word challenges.
