Yuki Tanaka

Yuki Tanaka has been solving word puzzle games since childhood, starting with classic newspaper crosswords before moving to mobile word apps. She discovered Game of Words in its earliest release and has played every level from 1 to 11,164 — documenting each word list along the way.

As Senior Puzzle Editor for Game of Words Answers, Yuki verifies every answer list directly against the live game. Each word she records is confirmed when the game registers the correct solution and advances the level. She pays particular attention to rare vocabulary and unusual letter combinations that players often overlook.

Yuki holds a degree in linguistics and has a professional background in English language publishing. She brings that editorial discipline to the verification process: no answer is published until it has been personally confirmed in-game. She also curates the tips and strategies published on this site, drawing on thousands of hours of gameplay experience across every difficulty tier.

When she is not solving word puzzles, Yuki writes about language evolution and contributes to academic vocabulary research. You can trust that every Game of Words answer on this site reflects the same standard she would apply to any professionally published reference work.

Verification Standard

Every answer on Game of Words Answers is confirmed by playing the level directly in the app. A word is only recorded once the game's own engine accepts it and the level advances. No answer is sourced from player forums or secondhand lists.
