Evaluation

Kind Words launched on September 12, 2019 and has received consistent developer attention ever since. The developer has shipped meaningful updates over the years: a favorites system (September 2023), infrastructure improvements in preparation for the sequel (July 2024), a new sticker batch and server connection to Kind Words 2 (October 2024), a new screensaver and sticker (February 2025), a security/engine update (October 2025), and an engine fix for older computers (November 2025). The most recent developer communication was on February 5, 2026, celebrating 1,000,000 paper airplanes sent and launching a free Kind Words 2 demo. A defining feature of the game's current state is its shared server with Kind Words 2, which launched on October 7, 2024. The developer explicitly stated on July 26, 2024 that this shared infrastructure reflects "our commitment to supporting both games for a long time." Every new sticker added to Kind Words 2 also flows automatically into the original, and the two games share the same player community. The February 2026 post confirmed the original game remains active, with around 7.3 million total user submissions over six years. The November 2025 patch notes also mentioned upcoming "cool new screensaver features" for Kind Words 2 — which, given the shared sticker pipeline, will likely benefit the original as well. No statement has been made indicating development is complete or winding down. The developer remains engaged, communicative, and has explicitly committed to long-term support for both titles.

About this game

Write Nice Letters to People and Get Stickers

Has something got you down? Stressed you out? Scared you? That's pretty normal. It might help you to talk about it.

In Kind Words, players anonymously write out their concerns and sorrows by making short requests for letters.

Receive Comforting Letters

Everyone can respond to requests with letters of comfort, sympathy or gentle advice.

Kind Words is a positive context; a warm, cozy mood. A place to feel centered and focused on the opportunity presented:

Use your words to lift others and be lifted in return.

Oh, and There’s Stickers!

You start the game with a couple random stickers in their inventory.

Stickers can be placed on letters written to others or sent as an appreciative response to a letter that has been received.

Once you get a new sticker, you can make copies of that sticker to send out to other players.

Each sticker also comes with a 3D toy that you can put on display in your room.

Swap letters to build up your collection of stickers and room decorations!

Kind Words 2?

Kind Words 2 exists and it is awesome! But this original version of Kind Words is still supported. In fact, the two games share save files and players of both games can write to each other. Enjoy the heck out of Kind Words and when you're ready, hop on over to Kind Words 2 for an expanded experience!
