Sem-Antics
Word
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Match words to categories faster than your friends. 2–12 players on any device, solo practice, and daily puzzles. Free to play.
SEM-ANTICS is a fast-paced card game where you race to match word cards to category cards. Spot a word that fits a fill-in-the-blank? A word that belongs to a list? Slam it down before someone else does.
Each round, word cards are laid out on the table and category cards fill your hand. Find three words that match one category for a Forward set (5 pts), or one word that matches three categories for a harder Reverse set (7 pts). But be careful — a bad call costs you a point.
PLAY YOUR WAY
• Solo Practice — Hone your matching skills against the clock
• Party Mode — One host screen, everyone plays on their phones. No app install required for guests.
• Online Multiplayer — Ranked and unranked play with automatic or challenge-based validation
