It plays like
a game.
It sticks like
a lesson.

Hunt hidden words against the clock. Bank the streak, climb the season ladder, and watch every word you catch land in your Worddex — where the game keeps bringing it back until you own it.

How it works

No flashcards. No lessons.
Just the hunt.

You came to beat a board. You leave with words you can use — because the game decides what to show you next based on what you have not mastered yet.

  1. 01

    Hunt

    Pick a category or take a quick hunt. Tap letters to form the hidden words before the clock runs out. Even the guesses that miss teach you something.

  2. 02

    Collect

    Each catch is filed in your Worddex with its meaning, pronunciation and rarity — Common through Legendary. The collection is the score that never resets.

  3. 03

    Master

    Seen, Discovered, Learning, Mastered. A word you fumbled comes back in later hunts until it reaches the top grade. That is the whole study plan.

Anatomy of a hunt

Two minutes, six words, one decision per second.

  1. 1
    The clock is the pressure

    Fast solves are worth more. Nothing about the board is random — the words are drawn from the category you picked, at your level.

  2. 2
    The streak is the payoff

    Chain solves within twenty seconds of each other and the multiplier climbs, up to ×2.5. Let it lapse and you start again at ×1 — which is exactly why you keep tapping.

  3. 3
    A hint costs you something

    2 hints a hunt are free; after that one costs 5 tokens. Tokens are the same currency that opens your next hunt, so asking for help is a real trade.

Seasons & ranks

Everyone is climbing the same ladder tonight.

A season runs for weeks and ranks on two things only: words discovered and experience earned. When it closes, the ladder pays out in tokens.

The Worddex

The part that makes it learning.

Every word you have ever caught, with what it means, how it sounds, how often you have met it, and how close it is to being yours for good.

Open the next hunt

A hunt costs 10 tokens, and winning one pays most of them back. Run dry and a short video, the daily reward or an invite puts you back in.

Play better
Take a hint

2 hints a hunt are free. After that a hint costs 5 tokens — half a hunt, so it stays a real choice.

Collect faster
Open a word box

A box puts a word straight into your Worddex, including the long ones a board can never deal. Paid for with tokens you earned, never with money.

Tokens are never sold for money.

There are no in-app purchases. Every token in the game was earned by playing, by an optional video, or by inviting a friend.

  • “The Worddex is the trick. Every word I fumbled shows up again a few hunts later, and eventually I just know it.”

FAQ

Before you download.

Anything else, the help centre is one tap away inside the app.

Is it really free?

Yes, and there is nothing to buy: v1 ships with no in-app purchases. Every hunt, the Worddex, seasons and the daily challenge are free, and tokens are earned by playing, by an optional video or by inviting a friend.

Do I need an account?

No. You can play your first hunt straight away. An account only matters when you want your Worddex, your streak and your season rank to follow you to another device.

What are tokens, and can I run out?

Tokens open hunts, hints and word boxes. You earn them from daily play, streaks, season rewards and optional videos, so ordinary play keeps you supplied — and if you spend them all, a video or tomorrow’s daily reward starts the next one.

Which languages can I learn?

English and Español today, in either direction. More are in the queue, and your Worddex carries over when they land.

How does the game know what I have learned?

Every catch and every miss goes into your Worddex. A word you fumbled comes back in later hunts, spaced further apart each time you get it right, until it stops coming back.

Can I buy my way up the leaderboard?

No, because tokens are never sold for money — there are no in-app purchases. The season ladder counts every word you collect, however you collected it, and the only way to a token is to play for it.
