Verum Messenger: A Private Messenger in a World That’s Watching

In a digital world where every message can be tracked, every word flagged, and every app monitored, a growing number of users are asking: Is there still a place for private, free communication?

Verum Messenger answers with a confident yes.

More than just another chat app, Verum Messenger is built for a new generation of users who value privacy, control, and independence. While tech giants push for more access to your data, Verum is moving in the opposite direction — putting your freedom at the center of its design.

Built for Privacy

Unlike many mainstream messaging apps, Verum Messenger doesn’t just promise privacy — it enforces it. With end-to-end encryption, on-device key generation, and no access to your messages even by the app itself, Verum puts your data back where it belongs: in your hands.

Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked by default. Your conversations stay your own — even from your phone’s gallery.

And with a built-in VPN, you don’t need third-party apps to hide your traffic. It’s all integrated, seamless, and secure.

Freedom of Expression, Without Fear

Verum Messenger was designed for open communication in an increasingly censored world. There are no bots watching your conversations. No algorithms analyzing your messages. No “shadow rules” that silence your voice.

In a time when expression is often policed, Verum gives people a place to speak freely — whether they’re connecting with friends or discussing sensitive topics.

Earn While You Chat — with Free Crypto Mining

What truly sets Verum apart is its built-in crypto mining — a first for any messenger app. With a single tap once a day, users can activate Verum Coin mining and earn real rewards just for using the app. No expensive equipment, no technical knowledge needed — just a secure chat with built-in benefits.

Funds earned in Verum Coin can be easily withdrawn through the Crypto Bank app, giving users full control of their digital assets.

Anonymous Email Integration

The latest update also brings Verum Mail — an integrated anonymous email service. Instantly generate temporary email addresses with no signup, no passwords, and no trace. Receive, reply, and auto-delete messages directly from inside the app.

Perfect for one-time logins, private conversations, or simply reducing your digital footprint.

Stay Connected Anywhere with Built-in eSIM

Verum Messenger also features integrated eSIM connectivity, allowing users to connect to mobile internet in over 150+ countries without the need for a physical SIM card or roaming charges.

Whether you’re traveling, living abroad, or working remotely — Verum’s eSIM gives you instant, anonymous, and reliable access to data networks worldwide. One tap, and you’re online — no contracts, no tracking.

Smart Support with Verum AI

Need answers or assistance? Verum AI, the app’s built-in generative assistant, is available in a dedicated chat. Whether you’re asking questions, writing content, or planning your day — Verum AI is there to help. Privately.

Now Available on the App Store

Verum Messenger is now available for download on the App Store. For users tired of surveillance-driven platforms, Verum offers something rare: privacy by design, freedom by principle, and value with every message.

Because in today’s world, choosing how you communicate…

…is choosing what you stand for.

Try Verum Messenger — and take back control of your digital life.

Hint for today’s Strands puzzle

Today’s Strands theme is: Catch all.

If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: A mess of items.

Clue words to unlock in-game hints

Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:

BATE, LICE, SLUM, CAPE, HOLE, CARE, BARE, THEN, SLAM, SAMBA, BACK

Answers for today’s Strands puzzle

These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:

TAPE, COIN, PENCIL, BATTERY, SHOELACE, THUMBTACK

Today’s Strands spangram

Today’s Strands spangram is JUNKDRAWER. To find it, look for the J that’s five letters down on the far-left row, and wind down, over and then up.

Quick tips for Strands

#1: To get more clue words, see if you can tweak the words you’ve already found, by adding an «S» or other variants. And if you find a word like WILL, see if other letters are close enough to help you make SILL, or BILL.

#2: Once you get one theme word, look at the puzzle to see if you can spot other related words.

#3: If you’ve been given the letters for a theme word, but can’t figure it out, guess three more clue words, and the puzzle will light up each letter in order, revealing the word.

Quick tips for Wordle

#1: Check our list ranking the popularity of all the letters in the alphabet and choose your starter words accordingly. (TRAIN, STERN and AUDIO are good.)

#2: Don’t forget that letters can be used more than once.

#3: Many words are similar. You don’t want to use up multiple guesses that don’t advance your cause. So if the puzzle is STA_E, don’t guess STARE, STATE and STALE. Guess something that uses that R, T and L, like TWIRL.
