## What is Fonix?

Fonix (not a typo) is a word game about sounding it out.

Every puzzle is a real word, re-spelled so each chunk of letters makes a sound it makes in other words. Read it aloud and you'll hear it. Take "ghilltre": "gh" like in laugh, "re" like in acre… it's filter.

Some are a gentle warm-up. Some are gloriously fiendish. Every one of them clicks the moment you say it out loud.

• 1,500 hand-crafted puzzles across three difficulty tiers
• A shared Daily Puzzle — build a streak and share your win
• A smart hint ladder when you're stuck, plus a "give up & reveal" whenever you need it
• Tap "Hear it" to listen to the answer
• A satisfying reveal that breaks every word into its sounds
• No ads, no accounts, no tracking

Play free: sound out 10 puzzles in every difficulty, plus the daily. Unlock Fonix Plus once for unlimited puzzles, unlimited hints, full stats, and extra themes; just one purchase, yours forever.

Inspired by a game played around the dinner table (thanks, Justin). See how fast you can hear the word.
