Catagrams, crafted by the indie studio Ponderosa Games, offers a delightful twist on word games with its charming cat theme. Founded by two former corporate software developers seeking a creative outlet, this game combines the strategic fun of Scrabble with the cozy charm of a cat café and the artistic flair of an illustrated book.

At its heart, Catagrams is a word puzzle game that invites players to connect threads and uncover meaningful words. As you solve puzzles, you unlock new, uniquely designed cats—each with their own quirky personality and favorite pastime. From sunbathing at the beach to lounging in cozy corners, these feline friends bring joy and diversity to the gameplay experience.

Customization options extend beyond just word length and difficulty levels. Players can opt for shorter puzzles when they’re looking for a quick mental workout or dive into the daily challenge for fresh puzzles every day. Additionally, the game integrates with Game Center, allowing users to showcase their achievements and compete with others.

Catagrams doesn’t stop at cats—it also lets you accessorize your feline companions with adorable outfits, adding another layer of personalization. For those eager to explore more, the game offers an endless mode accessible via a one-time purchase of $9.99. This treat package unlocks all extra content, including seasonal puzzle sets like the winter cabin theme.

Here’s something even better: half of the proceeds from the Treat Package go toward supporting cat rescue organizations. Currently, donations are directed to Happy Cats Haven in Manitou Springs, Colorado, ensuring your enjoyment contributes to a meaningful cause.
