Microsoft has announced that it will release a set of Office applications by the end of April which it says is "Universal" for smartphones running Windows 10.
According to TechCrunch, Microsoft has a two-prong productivity strategy in place for Windows, Office 2016 for desktop use, and, for all other Windows 10 experiences, its touch-focused Office Universal apps.

The universal tag is believed to be more useful in the context of mobile phones.
