Wordspottir: Daily Word Game
Swipe left if it's a fake
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fifteen fresh cards a day, and no timer. You just need to:
* Swipe right if it’s a WORD
* Swipe left if it’s a FAKE
That's the whole game! But it’s harder than it sounds...
Each card is either a genuine English word (sometimes an odd one, the kind you meet once in a novel) or a fake built to look exactly like a word that ought to exist. Monday's words are the ones you learned at school. By Saturday they're the literary, archaic, and Scrabble-strange vocabulary lists – and the fakes are better too.
You start with 5 stars, and each mistake costs one. You can't really lose, but you can finish with zero stars (ouch!)
At the end of each day’s puzzle, all the cards are laid out with their definitions (or disguises):
* syzygy - “An alignment of three planets.”
* flendish - "Were you thinking fiendish?"
* megalocide - Not a word. Yet!
Additional features:
- Made for your wrist! Wordspottir was designed first for the Apple Watch
- Streaks for playing each day's puzzle on the day it drops
- A calendar archive for the ones you missed
- iPhone widgets and a Watch complication for quick access
- A daily reminder that only comes on days you haven't played
- VoiceOver actions, Reduce Motion and Dynamic Type supported
- Right and wrong answers that are never shown by color alone (for the color blind)
- Works offline, but syncs between iPhone and Apple Watch through your own iCloud
- No ads, no account, no user tracking sent back to Tinkerton
- New cards every midnight
Download Wordspottir* today, and see if YOU can spot the WORDS from the FAKES!
(*) From the Icelandic (orð meaning word, spotta meaning to mock, and spotti meaning a piece of string), we get Wordspottir, meaning to mock a little string, i.e. word play. Or is that all fake!?!?
