Texas Hold’em strategy meets Scrabble word play

Very fun and clever word strategy game! You can bluff with words and win if no one challenges you. If Texas Hold’em and Scrabble had a baby, it would be Olelo.

I really like that it can be played completely off-line, with no account required and no data tracking. It is very family, friendly, and the AI bots each have their own fun.

The Daily Challenge is one of my favorite features, everyone gets the exact same letters and tries to come up with the highest scoring word. You can also easily share your results with friends by text or email.

A clever, addictive word game that’s easy to learn, fun to master, and grateful the whole family!

Fun for all

My kids and I LOVE THIS GAME. When we are stuck waiting for an appointment we open up this game and pass the phone around for a multiplayer round. I love that there’s no ads. And I love that my kids are using their brains during screentime! My kids are 8-14 years old and everyone has fun with this game!

Fun? Educational? Competitive? Yes!

What a great game. My family loves the daily challenges and it’s so nice not having to purchase anything to play or get rid of ads. The Texas hold em style is super unique for a word game and the ai characters you play against have some witty reactions 🤣 trying to beat them has become a part of my daily routine lol. Definitely recommend.
