About Word Burrow

Word Burrow, from developer bokorgames, is a gentle word puzzle built around a small mole wearing a miner's lamp. Your job is to help the mole tunnel farther down by solving a compact crossword on each floor. Letters sit in a ring; you can trace them with a mouse or a finger and let go to submit, or type an answer and press Enter. Completing the grid opens the way deeper, while finding optional words earns bonus gems. The descent covers sixty floors across Soft Soil, Root Tangle, Stone Cave and Underground Stream, and the rings get larger as you go, moving from five letters to six. Gems can pay for a single-letter hint or a whole-word reveal, and reshuffling the ring costs nothing. A daily challenge provides a new board each day and keeps a streak. Floors are short, roughly one to three minutes, and nothing is timed. It runs on both desktop and phone, has no ads and no account requirement, and stores progress in the browser.
