I know I say every game is my new favourite, but this one has the staying power of a Wordle.

With Whittle, you get two unrelated words. You have to tap letters to erase them while still making real words. For instance, “adds” can become “ads” if you erase the second “D,” but you cannot erase the “A” and make “dds.”

You win when you erase all letters, but then you can continue playing until you find all of the hidden words. Once you win, you see the words you’ve already found near the bottom of the screen with a blank box for any missing words. This is helpful because you can know how many letters the missing word has, and it goes in alphabetical order, so you can know the missing word comes between these two words you’ve found.

It is really brilliant and super simple. And it’s the sort of thing you can keep putting down and coming back to as you try to find the final few. Plus, you can play the archive, so there are hours of play.

Love this.
