Word-Buddy is the clever companion for your board game nights with word-tile games – and your personal coach on the side: move suggestions show you words and placement tricks you'd never have spotted yourself. Game after game, you'll sharpen your own skills, learn new words, and squeeze more points out of your letters – even when the app isn't helping.
Score tracking, word checking, move suggestions straight from a photo of your board – all in one app:
PHOTOGRAPH YOUR BOARD, GET MOVES
Take a photo of your game board – Word-Buddy automatically recognizes the letters in play and suggests the highest-scoring moves with your letters, including position, direction, and point value. Correct any misread words with a tap; the app immediately offers matching suggestions.
SCORE, ALWAYS IN VIEW
Easily track scores for 2 to 4 players, real-time rankings, and an all-time leaderboard across every game. Anyone who used a hint is fairly flagged.
CHECK A WORD
Argument at the table? Type in a word and instantly see whether it's valid and how many points the letters are worth. The word list includes over 400,000 verified German words.
WORD IDEAS
The lightweight helper without a photo: just enter your hand letters and get word suggestions you could form with them – finding where they fit on the board is up to you.
YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
Everything runs directly on your iPhone: no servers, no account, no ads, no tracking. Photos are processed on-device only and never stored.
ALSO INCLUDED
• Three designs, including freely customizable colors
• Guided first-time setup with board calibration for reliable recognition
