Editor's Overview

Wortmühle is a word game application developed by Björn Hüpping, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.1 weighing in at 3.18 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 3.18 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Björn Hüpping" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Wortmühle ("word mill") is a daily German word puzzle: build as many German words as you can from the nine letters on the 3×3 mill board. Every word must use the center letter, and every puzzle contains at least one pangram — a word using all nine letters.

Features:

• One new puzzle every day, with the last seven days replayable
• 2500 puzzles built in — one a day for almost seven years, fully offline
• Scoring based on German Scrabble letter values, with a pangram bonus
• Tap a found word for its definition — bundled, no network needed
• Light/dark mode selectable (follows the system otherwise)
• No permissions, no tracking, no ads, no accounts, no Google services

The app requests no permissions at all and never touches the network. The definitions ship with it: they come from de.wiktionary.org, are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 and are shortened to the first two senses. Each definition carries a link to its Wiktionary page — tapping it opens your browser.

Note: the game and its vocabulary are entirely in German. The word list is derived from free sources (igerman98 word list, de.wiktionary, OpenSubtitles frequency data).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wortmühle free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Wortmühle require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Wortmühle safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Björn Hüpping. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Wortmühle?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
