Showdowns are in the demo now!Until now, the demo did not include Showdowns, the special word puzzle that awaits you after defeating the Master Villain of the current settlement. Showdowns are where you'll uncover the next piece of the Grand Puzzle, the next Lesser Word of Yendor that brings you closer to solving the mystery of the adventure.
By popular demand, the demo has been extended, and now you can experience the excitement of Showdowns too. However, please note that in the demo the adventure will still conclude after completing the 2nd settlement.
Remember, Showdowns can range from very challenging to relatively easy, especially the first one when you haven't yet discovered any Lesser Words. But that's the essence of roguelike-style procedural generation, and therein lies the beauty: the thrill of the challenge and the immense satisfaction when you emerge victorious!
It has been mentioned before, but it is important to emphasize: each adventure in Words of Yendor is tailor-made to grant a personal reward, when you complete the full story -- and there are infinite amount of stories in the game.
Do, check out the updated demo, and make sure to have Words of Yendor on your wishlist, so you can get a notification once the full game becomes available.

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!
