ABC Smash is a fast, friendly word game that turns reading and grammar practice into an arcade adventure. Words fly across the screen — read the rule, then catch only the words that match. Word by word, reading becomes fluent and fast. • A real learning journey Master the 250 most useful words every beginning reader needs. The game remembers what you know: tricky words come back more often, mastered words make room for new ones. Earn stars and travel toward the ABC Planet as your reading grows. • Read faster, word by word Every word is read as a whole — not sounded out letter by letter. That builds the sight-word recognition real readers rely on, so kids start to recognize words instantly and read more quickly and fluently. • Grammar practice that feels like play Smash all the nouns. Now all the verbs. Now the adjectives. Quick rounds build word knowledge without it ever feeling like homework. • Made for kids — and safe by design • NO ads • NO in-app purchases (buy once, play forever) • NO accounts or sign-up • NO data collection or tracking Everything stays on your device.

Questions? riedermagic@gmail.com ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-29 • New lesson: Read and answer. A sentence, with a question about it underneath — catch the word that answers it. The answer is in the sentence, so it takes real reading, not guessing. • Fixed: the screen now stays on while reading, even during long thinking pauses. ### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-22 • New lesson: Build the Sentence. Catch the words in the right order and the sentence comes together piece by piece. • The screen no longer goes dark during long thinking pauses. • More content in the existing lessons. ### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-20 • Improved offline play. Once the game has loaded, it keeps working with no connection — on a plane, in the car, or wherever the signal drops. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-18 • The read-aloud voice now follows the voice you chose in iOS Settings. • Optimized difficulty — the game adapts more closely to how your child reads. • New levels to play. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-15 Two new lessons: • Picture Words — see the picture, shoot the word. New vocabulary without a single translation. • What is missing? — a word with a gap, the pieces flying past. Spot the one that completes it. ABC Smash now opens straight from a link too: play three boards instantly, no install needed. ## More apps by THOMAS RIEDER - [Math Fighter - Learn Math](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/math-fighter-learn-math/id6760628828) All apps by THOMAS RIEDER: https://appshunter.io/developer/1885404934 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
