My wife and I have been beta-testing Letterpress, and we absolutely love it. As long-time fans of other iOS word games like Wurdle, Letterpress is both refreshingly new and instantly addictive.
It’s also very accessible to casual gamers like us because it uses asynchronous turn-based multiplayer, like Words With Friends, so you can have multiple games going and take your turn even if your opponent is asleep.
Since Loren made it, it’s fast, rock-stable, cleanly designed, and technically impressive. During the entire beta period, the only bug I hit was actually in Game Center, and the app never crashed once. And as an extra bit of nerd joy, despite having a beautiful, modern design, it only contains one non-required image (in addition to the icon and Default.pngs). Try to find it.
