Each day, Glyph challenges players to decode a hidden word from overlapping letter shapes.
About Glyph
Glyph is a word puzzle in which letters overlap to form visual shapes, and players decode the hidden word from those shapes. A new puzzle is published each day, and older puzzles can be played through a Play Past Glyphs option. Words are 2 to 7 letters long and must be valid dictionary words. The homepage lists web, Android and iOS as platforms.
Players can reveal a letter with a Decoder Key, with one key per attempt, and the key is marked in the share results. Players can also long-press keys to dim them while narrowing down possibilities. A Create-a-Glyph mode lets a player pick a word and send a challenge link to a friend, who gets 4 tries. Stats such as streaks and win rate are kept on the device unless the player creates an account, in which case the homepage says stats and history are saved to the account. Pricing is not stated on the homepage.

Glyph FAQ
How do I create a challenge for a friend?
On the Guilds page, tap the group icon at the top, then choose "Create a challenge." Pick a 2 to 7 letter word, then copy the challenge link and send it to a friend. They get 4 tries to decode the word.
What are Decoder Keys?
Tapping a box reveals that letter. You get one Decoder Key per attempt, and the revealed letter is marked with a key icon in your share results.
Do my stats carry over to a new device?
Stats are stored on the device unless you create an account. The homepage says existing stats transfer to an account at sign-up only from the device you used for them, so sign up on the device you play on most.
