Wordplay - Toddler Phonics ABC

Letters, sounds & first words

$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Six gentle word games, real letter sounds, and the magic ingredient: words you create with your own photos. No ads, no links, nothing to unlock. Just calm learning. The words your toddler cares about most aren't in other alphabet apps. They're in your camera roll. Wordplay is a calm, Montessori-inspired word and alphabet app for children aged 2–5. It comes with beautifully illustrated starter topics - animals, colours, food, and the body - and one feature that makes it truly yours: add your child's own words, with your own photos. Their name. Grandma. The family dog. The words that actually mean something to them. SIX GENTLE WAYS TO PLAY • Match - drag chunky letter tiles onto the word, with forgiving snap-to-place designed for little fingers • Spell - rebuild the word from memory, with just enough extra letters to make them think • Bubbles - pop the bubble with the right first letter • Letter Train - pick the missing letter to complete the train • Hungry Monster - feed the monster the letter it asks for • Listen - hear a letter's sound, then tap the letter that makes it A friendly hand shows each game's first move, and comes back if your child gets stuck. Every correct letter is rewarded with its real phonetic sound and name. No fail states, no timers, no scores - just unlimited gentle tries. BUILT CALM ON PURPOSE Wordplay is deliberately low-stimulation: soft colours, one thing on screen at a time, quiet celebrations. No flashing rewards, no candy-coloured chaos. It's an app your child can wind down with. MADE FOR PARENTS TOO • Add unlimited custom words with photos from your camera or library • Organise words into topics and choose what's active • A proper parent gate keeps settings out of little hands • Haptics and sounds can be switched off independently PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works completely offline - no account, no sign-up • No ads, no in-app purchases, no external links • Your photos never leave the device • Nothing is collected. Nothing. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE WORDPLAY Because a child who shrugs at "CAT" will light up at their own name next to their own photo. Meaningful words are how reading starts - and no other alphabet app makes your family part of the alphabet. Wordplay was built by a parent, for their own child. Download it, hand it over, and listen for the first "B says buh!"
