Word puzzle games

Word puzzle games are a diverse cluster spanning crosswords, anagrams, spelling challenges, and word ladders. The dated entry history runs from 2009 to 2025 with an irregular cadence, and 11 members have no source date, so the cluster predates the index with a thin dated footprint. Traction leaders, all with zero stars, are Word Swipe Connect: Crossword, Word Wow Big City - Brain game, and LexiLoop-Vibecode, indicating no strong activity yet.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
