## What is Sound Word?

Practise connecting written words with familiar words you say and hear.

Sound Word places letters on a simple grid, without pictures or sentence clues. Choose four-, five- or six-letter words, tap letters in spelling order, say the sounds and blend them. Recognised words turn green and earn points. Check the board to see words you missed, then try fresh letters.

Features:
- Four-, five- and six-letter practice
- Clear letter tiles and full button touch areas
- Lowercase and capital letters
- Optional sound effects
- Short tutorial and replayable instructions
- Local score and board restoration
- iPhone and iPad support

No account, ads, microphone or cloud reading-progress service. Use this focused practice alongside wider reading instruction.
