Every word counts. Word Fairy is a relaxing word search that never runs out. Drag across the rainbow grid to spell any real word - four letters or more, in any straight line, forwards or backwards. Found words pop, the board cascades, and fresh letters tumble in. THREE WAYS TO PLAY - Classic: straight lines, forwards, backwards or diagonal. - Winding Words: bend through touching tiles in any direction, never using a tile twice. - Number search: find the numbers listed under a board of digits. NO WORD LIST, NO DEAD ENDS There is no fixed list to tick off. Any genuine word you can spot scores, and the fairy always names a few words hiding on the board to get you started. A live counter shows how many words are hiding right now, and your log keeps every word you find this game. Stuck? A hint lights up a word on the board, and the riddle word is revealed one step at a time. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Settle into a relaxed grove with no timers, or race the fairy's riddles in classic pace. Daily groves bring a fresh puzzle every day. THE FAIRY IS YOUR BIGGEST FAN Every word earns a cheer out loud, and records get their own: your longest word ever, your best word of the game, word book milestones and new ranks from Seedling Speller to Word Wizard and beyond. Her voice can be switched off in Settings. THE FAIRY'S RIDDLE Every few words the fairy hides a secret word and gives you a riddle. Find it for five times the points. SPECIAL TILES - Enchanted gold tiles boost your score - Rainbow tiles cycle through every letter and count as any of them - Empty glass blocks words until you clear it with a word beside it Every tile shows its points, and rare letters wear coloured rings. LEARN AS YOU PLAY Tap any word to see what it means, and your word book keeps every word you find. Over 10,000 everyday words and their definitions are built in, so Word Fairy plays fully offline - no account, no ads and no internet needed. Reduced motion and high contrast options are included. ## Is Word Fairy safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Word Fairy. ## Is Word Fairy legit? Word Fairy appears legitimate, with a few gaps.
