Daily Word Buddy
Spelling puzzles for kids
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Solve a new word every day and grow your streak! Kid-friendly hints, color clues, and words read aloud. No ads, no accounts.
Word Buddy is a gentle, joyful word-guessing game made just for kids — and the grown-ups who play along.
Every day there's one new puzzle to solve together: guess the hidden word in six tries, using the colorful tiles as clues. Green means the letter is in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word somewhere else, and gray means try another letter. It's the word game you love — slowed down, brightened up, and built for emerging readers.
WHY FAMILIES LOVE WORD BUDDY
• Made for young readers — short 4, 5, and 6-letter words, friendly language, and no timers or pressure.
• Read it aloud — tap to hear any word spelled out and then said ("T, I, G, E, R… tiger"), plus hear every clue.
• Gentle hints — stuck after a couple of guesses? Tap for a kid-friendly clue, one at a time. There's even a "Starts with?" helper for the trickiest words.
• A puzzle a day — one shared daily puzzle builds a "days in a row" streak kids are proud of, with a calendar to look back on.
• Never run out — Practice mode has endless words in Easy, Medium, and Hard whenever they want more.
• Make a puzzle for a friend — pick a secret word, add your own clues, and pass the device for someone special to solve.
• Celebrate every win — happy confetti, a friendly buddy, and lots of encouragement.
THOUGHTFUL & ACCESSIBLE
• Colour-friendly mode adds a shape to each tile so the clues work for color-blind players.
• Full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion.
• A built-in spell-check keeps guesses to real words, so it's learning while playing.
PRIVATE & SAFE FOR KIDS
• No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts or sign-ups.
• No data collection — everything stays on the device.
• One optional, gentle daily reminder is the only notification, and it stays off until you turn it on.
Word Buddy turns a few minutes a day into a cozy reading habit the whole family can share.
