“If I’m not actually reading in my down time then I’m likely playing Dear Reader.” -one of our dear players
Dear Reader lets you curl up and play your favorite books, turning classic literature into clever word puzzles. Unscramble passages from famous books, unlock unique puzzles, and add new books to your library.
Dear Reader includes over 130 literary classics and dozens of different types of word puzzles, from unscrambling anagrams to swapping lines of text. Dear Reader is the first and only game where you can play with the actual written words of so many tempting books of classic literature!
As Game Developer’s Alissa McAloon wrote, Dear Reader is “a game that’s as difficult to put down as a good book.”

What’s New
Dear Readers, prepare for a truly major update… by popular demand, we’re making it possible to get any book you want – at any time!
In the new CATALOGUE section of the Bookstore, all books in the game are available for purchase with Ink. There will still be rotating shelves of featured books at discounted ink prices, but if there’s a specific book you want from our full collection, now you can get it!
And that’s not all – there’s also a new PUZZLER difficulty setting, which gives you a serious puzzle challenge but without any time pressure. Enjoy!
