WordPang
Learn Words Through Puzzles
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Stop memorizing. Start discovering!
Duolingo too easy? Workbook apps too boring?
WordPang is a word puzzle game where kids "discover" English words -- not memorize them.
Type a letter, get color-coded feedback.
[GREEN] = right spot. [ORANGE] = wrong spot. [BROWN] = not in word.
Deduce, guess, solve -- PANG! That word sticks forever.
"My kid opens this English app on their own."
-- That's the experience we built for.
