Description

Wortmühle ("word mill") is a daily German word puzzle: build as many German words as you can from the nine letters on the 3×3 mill board. Every word must use the center letter, and every puzzle contains at least one pangram — a word using all nine letters.

Features:

• One new puzzle every day, with the last seven days replayable
• 2500 puzzles built in — one a day for almost seven years, fully offline
• Scoring based on German Scrabble letter values, with a pangram bonus
• Tap a found word for its definition — bundled, no network needed
• Light/dark mode selectable (follows the system otherwise)
• No permissions, no tracking, no ads, no accounts, no Google services

The app requests no permissions at all and never touches the network. The definitions ship with it: they come from de.wiktionary.org, are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 and are shortened to the first two senses. Each definition carries a link to its Wiktionary page — tapping it opens your browser.

Note: the game and its vocabulary are entirely in German. The word list is derived from free sources (igerman98 word list, de.wiktionary, OpenSubtitles frequency data).

What’s new (1.2)

The app now requests no permissions at all — the network permission is gone too. Word definitions ship inside the app and work offline; tap the Wiktionary link to read more in your browser.

The puzzle pool was revised: unwanted solution words are gone, along with proper names and incorrectly generated word forms. As a result the daily puzzles shift once — a puzzle you already solved today may be a new one after the update.
