Why we built Cipher Siege

Cipher Siege started from a simple idea: word puzzles are more fun when something is at stake. What if every word you cracked was a battering ram against a castle wall?

The result mixes the satisfying click of a daily word puzzle with the progression of an RPG and the rivalry of a strategy game. Solve puzzles, raid castles, build your own fortress, and test yourself against 99 others in live Battle Royale.

It’s built by an independent developer, runs in any modern browser on phone or desktop, and is free to play. We add new modes, castles and music regularly.
