This is not for you if...

You never writeSorry, words are our currency. You’ll need to write something (even an email) to advance in our world.
Hate celebrating winsLife is hard enough already to not celebrate wins. From a few coins for a small battle to Angel Wings for a 1-year streak, we love celebrating!
You hate technologyWe love writing in our notebooks under a palm tree as much as the next person. But we also embrace technology as a tool for making us better writers.
Want AI generated artEverything here was hand painted by a soul hoping to inspire those who come into contact with it.
Don’t have internetYou’ll need an internet connection to use 4thewords. We’re working on an offline version!
Don’t like gamesWe don’t have 3D zooming characters, flashing lights and complex button smashing (we try to avoid distractions while you write). But we are game, with scary and cute monsters, and coins, and levels.
You’re a writerJust kidding, wanted to make sure you’re reading. If you’re a writer this, all of this, was built just for you!
