About
Kern is a word game about handling letters with care. Wheel fills a mini crossword from a letter wheel, Search hides words from the world you're in, and Chain lets you build your own through neighboring tiles. All three share one par-based score, so the Game Center daily leaderboard is one competition. Eighteen worlds with generated music react to what you spell. Fully offline. One price: no ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases, no data collection.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
