01
Twelve games, one cluster
Every game is a bubble on the home screen. Poke one to dive in, or flick the bubbles around: they bounce off each other.
02
Over 1,600 puzzles
Ring, Search, Hive, Cross, Twine, Groups, Ladder, Box, Swap and Five have 1,677 stages in all; Float and Jumble deal fresh words every time. Each game's stage list shows what you have solved and given up.
03
A little every day
Finish one puzzle a day to grow your streak. Every seventh day in a row earns a streak freeze that covers a missed day.
Overview
Twelve ways to play
Float
Tap the letters of the word as they float up, in order, before the clock runs out. Combos score more.
Ring
Swipe across the letters on the wheel to fill every slot with a word. 100 stages.
Search
A word search: find the hidden words across, down and diagonally. From the fourth grid on they run backwards too. 60 themes.
Five
Guess a five-letter word in six tries. The bubbles light up green and yellow as you go. 991 words, one per stage.
Hive
Make words from seven letters, always using the middle one. Find the pangram that uses all seven. 70 stages.
Cross
Mini crosswords where each word checks itself when you fill it in. 48 stages.
Jumble
Unscramble eight words a round by tapping the letters in order. Endless.
Twine
Trace the theme words on a letter board; one word, the spangram, crosses the whole board. 48 stages.
Groups
Sort sixteen words into four groups. Four mistakes allowed, and some words fit more than one group. 60 stages.
Ladder
A word ladder: change one letter at a time to get from one word to another. Beat or match par. 100 stages.
Swap
Swap the tiles of a waffle until every row and column is a word. Every board can be solved in 10 swaps. 100 stages.
Box
Spell words around a square, never two letters from the same side in a row, and use all twelve letters in five words or fewer. 100 stages.
Getting started
-
Poke a bubble
Tap a game on the home screen. The first time, its rules appear by themselves.
-
Play
Every game has a ? button at the top right with its rules, and a hint (light bulb) where it makes sense.
-
Stuck?
Tap the flag to give up: the answer is shown and you move on. A stage you give up does not count, and its stage list marks it with a flag.
-
Pick any stage
Tap the stage number next to the game's name (for example 12/100) to see every stage and jump to one.
-
Keep the streak
Finish at least one puzzle a day, win or lose. Today's three games are at the bottom of the home screen.
FAQ
Is the app free?
Yes. The first half of the stages in every game is free, and Float and Jumble are free in full. The free version shows one full-screen ad before a game starts, at most once every 15 minutes. Ads never appear while you are playing.
What does Unlock everything include?
One purchase opens every stage in every game and turns off the ads for good. Find it in Settings under Full version, or on any locked stage. On a new device or after reinstalling, tap Restore purchase in the same place.
How do I remove the ads?
Buy Unlock everything (Settings, then Full version). It is a one-time purchase, and it opens every stage as well.
What kind of ads are they?
Ads rated G (suitable for everyone). The first time, iOS asks whether the app may track you: if you say no, you only see ads that are not personalized. Where the law asks for it, such as in the EU and the UK, you are also asked for your consent, and you can change it later in Settings under Ad privacy options.
How do I see all the stages?
Tap the stage number at the top of a game (for example 12/100): every stage is shown, solved ones filled in, given-up ones with a flag and locked ones with a lock. Tap a stage to play it. The grid button on the home screen shows every game at once, and a long press on a game's bubble opens its stages.
I am stuck. Can I see the answer?
Yes. Tap the flag at the top of any game and confirm. The answer is shown and you move on to the next stage. A puzzle you give up does not count as played or toward your streak.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Wordfizz works on iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape. On iPad the screens are simply drawn larger.
How do I contact you from the app?
Open Settings and tap Contact us. The support form opens inside the app.
How does the daily streak work?
Finish at least one puzzle (or round) in any game on a day, win or lose, and the day counts. Every seventh day in a row earns a streak freeze (you can hold two), which covers one missed day automatically. In Hive, reaching the Great rank counts as playing for the day. Giving up does not count.
What are today's three games?
Three games picked for the day, the same all day. They are shown at the bottom of the home screen with a check mark once you have played them.
Where is my progress saved?
On your device, automatically. There is no account and no cloud backup, so deleting the app or resetting your progress clears it. Your purchase is kept by the App Store and can always be restored.
How do I change the music and sound?
Open Settings (the gear on the home screen). Music and sound effects each have a switch and a volume slider. There is a haptics switch too.
Can I turn off the animations?
Yes. Settings has Reduce motion, and the iOS setting for reduced motion is followed as well.
Is there a dark mode?
Yes. Choose Auto, Light or Dark under Look and motion in Settings.
How do I see the rules again?
Tap the ? button in any game, or choose Show rules again in Settings to have every game explain itself on your next visit.
Why was my word not accepted?
The games check words against a large English dictionary (about 80,000 words). Names, abbreviations and words that are not suitable for all ages are left out.
What is the daily reminder?
In Settings you can switch on a reminder at a time you choose. It only appears on days you have not finished a puzzle yet. iOS asks your permission when you switch it on.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Only the ads and the purchase need a connection.
Which languages are supported?
The app and this support site are in English.
How do I reset everything?
Settings, then Reset progress. Puzzles, stats and streaks start over; your settings and your purchase stay.
