Word list extended, custom word editor made more accessibleBefore this update -- which includes both the demo and the full version -- Words of Yendor has recognized about 250 000 words. Some of these were only accepted from the player, since the puzzles and the opponents only use words appropriate for the steamgoth setting.
With today's update I have added about 100 000 additional words to the game's dictionary. But it can still happen that you want to use a word, that you know to be valid, only having to see that the game doesn't recognize it. An outrage, I agree!
The truth is, Words of Yendor has always had an editor meant to be used by you, the player, to register words, exactly for this purpose. It was (and is) accessible from the Main Menu, by moving the mouse to the top-right corner of the screen.
Since today's update this semi-secret button has a visual reminder (along with its sibling that opens the game's data directory for you to access your screenshots, custom word list file, high scores list, settings and the saved game state -- this latter one only for scientific purposes, and definitely not for making a copy of it, in case that the Assassin proves to be too strong), so hopefully more of you'll be able to extend the game's dictionary to your likings.
Though this feature is not a new one, thanks to your feedback I have been able to find a better way to announce its existence. If there's anything you think Words of Yendor could be improved by, do not hesitate to let its humble and grateful developer know, maybe here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2156830/discussions/

Unravel the mystery of the
Word of Yendor in these procedurally generated adventures, and if you dare, also explore the secrets of the
White Steam or the
Black Smoke perspectives.
Explore settlements, solve word puzzles, and find your way to the local Master Villains usurping crucial elements of the mystery. Use your word-solving skills to navigate dangerous obstacles and gather resources. Engage in turn-based word duels against opponents with a unique tactical combat system.
Each ending is tailor-made, offering a personalized experience. How is this possible? By leveraging the world's most powerful content creation system!


- Turn-based, procedurally generated adventures
- Detailed, highly configurable hero/heroine portraits
- Multiple types of word puzzles and word duels, forged into a coherent game system
- Duel opponents that also compose words from the same pool of letters as you
- Words that can literally hurt or mend
- Mini-adventures in space-time and in the afterworld
- Collection and crafting of items and upgrades, as well as optional theft and trade of poignant curios
- Dynamic, often dramatic or humorous story, yet it’s always meaningful and personal


- A typical adventure can be completed in 30–200 minutes, depending on the complexity level of your choice. Just like a game of chess, Words of Yendor offers endless replayability, providing unique and thrilling adventures each time you play.
- Your progress is automatically saved, allowing you to contemplate the challenges for as long as you like. The game remains unaffected by the passage of real time.
- Note that embracing the spirit of roguelikes, this is also a “permadeath” game, so if your hero falls, the game is over. However, if you enter the same adventure seed number, you can replay any adventure as many times as you want.
- It's never just one of the “red, green, blue” endings. Each one is personal and unique!
