What this is

The Arcade is four browser games — Word Nebula (build words from shuffled letters), Heart Maze (a three-step routing puzzle), Cover Shuffle (a sliding-tile book-cover puzzle) and Star Serpent (the classic snake). They are free, they need no account, and nothing is installed. Keyboard, mouse and touch all work.

The free tools that do actual work

Reader-Ready Scorecard — nine craft measurements across your whole romance manuscript, with a grade, a percentile and what to fix first. Free.
First-Chapter Autopsy — three severity-ranked editorial findings on your opening 5,000 words, each quoted from your own prose. Free.
Every Starport tool — the full star map, free and paid.
The 2026 Romance Demand Report — what romance readers are asking for this year, and where the shelf is not answering. Free, no signup.
TropeSmith — Trending and Reader Demand — the live demand side of the romance market.
PlotProse — free writing tools — trope-stack, title, pen-name and character-name generators.
