Swipe Words, Daily & Duels
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find every word you can in ninety seconds. A new board every day with a calendar of past days, hints from Bolty that teach, and live duels with friends.
Thunder Buddy Word Hunt is a fast word game made with care: sixteen letters, ninety seconds, and every word you can trace through touching tiles. Bolty, your lightning-bolt buddy, cheers every find.
SWIPE, SPELL, SCORE
• Drag through touching letters — across, down or diagonally — to spell words of three letters or more.
• Longer words are worth far more: three letters score 10, six score 70, eight score 160.
• Every board is graded before it reaches you, from Easy boards full of everyday words to lean Master boards where every point has to be earned.
• Bronze, silver and gold targets on every board, set by how a strong player would do on those exact letters.
• After the whistle, see the words you missed — hold one to light up its path on the board.
HINTS THAT TEACH
• Stuck? Bolty names a word-finding habit — add an S, grow an ending, look for a prefix — and lights the tile where a word starts. Ask again and he traces it.
• Three free hints a round, more with a short ad. A hinted word scores half, and helped rounds stay off the leaderboards, so every score there is earned.
• The Learn tab teaches ten habits, each shown on a real board from the game with the words that use it.
A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY
• The Daily Board is the same for everyone, everywhere, from a generous Monday to a lean Sunday.
• A calendar of every day's board: missed one? Play it any time. Play on the day to build your streak.
• See how each round compares with your best, your usual and your trend.
PLAY WITH FRIENDS
• Buddy Duel: the same board, the same clock, at the same moment — the higher score wins, and a rematch is one tap away.
• Practise against Bolty Bot at five speeds, even offline.
• Send a "beat my score" link over Messages: the board travels in the link, no account needed.
• Game Center leaderboards for every level, the daily and the week, plus 21 trophies.
MADE WITH CARE
• Board themes, dark mode, VoiceOver with typed entry, and a full iPad layout.
• Your games, stats and streaks follow you between iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud.
• Free to play, with occasional ads that never interrupt a round. One purchase removes them for good — in this game, or in every Buddy game at once with the Thunder Buddy Pass.
