Dungeons & Digraphs turns spelling practice into a real adventure. Your hero hears a word, spells it by tapping letter tiles into place, and lands a hit on the monster in front of them. Get it right, and the beast falls. Get it wrong, and you simply try again — no stress, no red crosses, just another go. FOR KIDS • Choose a Fighter, Wizard or Ranger, each with their own special power that charges up as you spell correctly • Battle through 50 monsters and 50 quests, from goblins to dragons • Hatch pets from eggs dropped by tricky bosses • Earn gold and spend it on hats, tails, colours and weapon looks for your hero • Hear every word and clue read aloud, as many times as you like FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS • Covers the full UK National Curriculum spelling lists, Reception through Year 6 (age 4-11) • Automatically gives extra practice on the words a child finds tricky, until they've got them • Type in this week's spelling list from school, with your own clues if you like • One setting switches the whole word bank between UK and US spelling • See real progress: words attempted, accuracy, and which spelling patterns need more work • Everything that matters for grown-ups — settings, backup and purchases — sits behind a simple maths question, so little hands can't change them by accident NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. There's no sign-up, no social features, and nothing for a child to type that anyone else will ever see. No advertising and no analytics of any kind. If you choose to back up your hero's progress, it goes to your own cloud storage, in a hidden folder only this app can open - we never see it. The game itself is completely free, and there's no "pay to win" or microtransactions available - accessing the upgrades uses the gold that the hero earns in-game, not something that can be bought with real money. There is a one-time premium option which unlocks deeper parent metrics, more hero slots and longer word lists, but this is a completely optional purchase and the game is fully functional without it. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Full unlock | $4.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 3.2 — 2026-10-10 Added an option for challenges to use lower case letters rather than upper case - defaulting to lower case for younger children, can be changed in Parent Settings ### 3.1 — 2026-10-05 Added the option to switch to a dyslexia-friendly font in parent settings (requested by a parent) Added long hair and short hair human options, rather than a generic human (requested by a player) Added character levelling, and additional cosmetic options which can be unlocked when a hero levels up (requested by a player) Added animated backgrounds, plus a seasonal Halloween background - accessed under edit character (requested by a player) ### 3 — 2026-10-02 Bug fixes - should no longer require you to disable silent mode to hear the words being spoken ### 2 — 2026-09-30 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
