no connection needed, at any point
an offline word game, properly offline
plenty of games call themselves offline and still want the
network for something. wordhoard keeps the letter dealer and the whole
dictionary on your iPhone, so a round in airplane mode is the same round you
would get on wifi.
a round played in airplane mode
where that matters
it matters on a long flight when the seatback screen is
broken, and on the commuter line that finds every tunnel between you and
work. it matters on the underground, at a campsite, and in the sort of
village that has one bar of signal by the church gate.
what plays offline
everything. open play deals unlimited
rounds with no connection and no account. the daily
board deals offline too. the only part that goes online is posting your
daily score to the world's top ten, and that can wait until you land. friend
challenges pass the whole game between phones in a QR code, so a table of
players needs no internet either.
why it can
there are no accounts, and no server the app has to check in
with. a round is dealt, played and scored on the device, which is also why it
opens straight into a game. the full story is at
about wordhoard.
