Word Lurch was developed with three goals in mind:
To bring you a fun new word game
Do you find that word searches don’t quite challenge you? Are you tired of seeing the same old clues over and over again in your favorite crossword puzzle?
Then you need to play Word Lurch! You’ll get a new puzzle every day. The clues are designed to challenge without overwhelming. There’s nothing to download; if you’re on Instagram you can play for free! You can also play here on the homepage. 🙂
knoweledge for all
Not only is Word Lurch wildly entertaining, it’s chock-full of educational content. You might need a dictionary, and that’s A-OK!
The clues cover a wide variety of topics, including STEM, geography, history, people, and entertainment. However, the educational focus of the game is to improve the player’s vocabulary. Many of the clues involve differentiation of homonyms, identification of synonyms and definitions, rhyming words and phrases, and word manipulation puzzles. Monday’s puzzles are the easiest and they get progressively more challenging until the Saturday puzzle, which will really test your knowledge, and perhaps, patience.
to pay it forward
At Word Lurch, we believe in creating meaningful positive change. To this end, we are committing to donate A MINIMUM OF 10% OF ALL PROCEEDS (yes, that’s before any profit, even before we pay our bills) to initiatives that support education equality around the globe. We are currently researching which organizations to give to, including United World Schools, Plan International, and CARE, among others.
Feel free to suggest an organization that you would like to see supported. While we can’t guarantee that any recommended organization will be funded, we will take all suggestions into account when selecting charitable causes. Rest assured that at least 10% of all net proceeds will be donated and we will post updates to this page.
We hope you will consider contributing so we can continue to provide entertaining and informative content, while giving back as well. 🙂
