Wordalo is a proper word puzzle app for people who actually like puzzles. Six classic puzzle types. Themed categories worth reading. No ads, no subscription, no pop-ups asking you to rate the app. Just the puzzles, done properly. THE SIX PUZZLES CROSSWORD The daily classic. Clean grids, themed clues, real vocabulary. WORD SEARCH Eight directions, forward and back. Drag to mark. Pick your difficulty. ANAGRAM Unscramble the letters. Shuffle when you're stuck. Accepts every valid anagram of the word, so MEAT when the answer is TEAM still counts. WORD CONNECT Letters in a circle, drag through to spell every word you can find. Target words unlock the round; bonus words are for showing off. CODEWORD The cipher crossword. Every letter replaced by a number from 1 to 26. A few starter letters revealed, work out the rest. FILL-IN A word with some letters missing, a clue to nudge you, three free hints a day if you get properly stuck. WHAT'S DIFFERENT - No subscription. No ads. No coins, no fake currencies, no streak-guilt notifications. - Curated themed categories: Animals, Food, Science, Space, Mythology, Movies & TV, and more. Every category hand-built, not a random dump of words. - Printable PDF puzzle paper, including a version sized for e-ink tablets. Export any puzzle as a clean multi-page sheet, perfect for the commute, the kitchen table, or your favorite e-reader. - Share your daily result. A spoiler-free emoji grid you can drop into any chat, your time and stars, answer hidden. - Fully offline. Puzzles generate on your device. Play on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere with no signal. - Private by design. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Your progress lives on your device (or your own iCloud, if you choose). HOW IT WORKS FREE: Three puzzles a day, drawn from a random themed category. Three free hints per puzzle type per day. Daily challenges, streaks, and achievements all work on the free tier. UNLOCK EVERYTHING: A one-time purchase removes the three-per-day cap, unlocks every themed category so you can pick what to play, and gives unlimited hints. Yours forever. No subscription, no recurring charges. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE The app is available in 17 languages. Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese also get their own hand-built puzzle content, thousands of native words and clues written for that language rather than machine-translated from English. Other languages use the English puzzle set with a fully translated interface. MADE BY CHARDIE Wordalo is built by a solo developer. Every clue is hand-curated. Every theme is chosen because it's genuinely interesting, not because it hits a demographic target. If something needs fixing, email contact@chardie.co.uk, it comes straight to my inbox. Requires iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later. AirPrint-compatible printer required for PDF export (optional). Happy solving. ## Key features - Six classic puzzle types - Themed categories - Printable PDF puzzle paper - Offline play - Spoiler-free sharing - Multi-language support ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlock Everything | $2.99 | one-time | ## Frequently asked questions about Wordalo ### What are the six puzzle types in Wordalo?

The free tier offers three puzzles per day from random themed categories, with three free hints per puzzle type daily. Daily challenges and achievements are also available. ### What does the 'Unlock Everything' purchase include in Wordalo? The one-time purchase removes the daily puzzle limit, unlocks all themed categories for selection, and provides unlimited hints. This purchase is permanent and not a subscription. ### Is Wordalo available in multiple languages? Yes, the app is available in 17 languages. Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese feature unique, hand-built puzzle content. ### What devices is Wordalo compatible with? Wordalo requires an iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later. It is designed for both iPhone and iPad devices. ### How often is Wordalo updated? The latest version is 2.0.0, and the app was last updated on August 11, 2026. Updates typically bring new puzzles, features, and improvements. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.0.4 — 2026-08-31 Four more seasons. Valentine's Day and Easter puzzles join Halloween and Christmas, plus a general Summer pack for the warmer months. Thanksgiving is here too. Same as before: 100 clued words each, part of the one-time Wordalo unlock, with a banner on the Today tab whenever a season is live. Easter moves with the calendar every year, so the app now works out the actual date rather than using a fixed window. ### 2.0.3 — 2026-08-31 Seasonal puzzles have arrived. Halloween puzzles are here now, and Christmas puzzles follow in December. Both are themed word banks, 100 clued words each, part of the one-time Wordalo unlock. Look for the new banner on the Today tab whenever a season is live. More seasonal categories are on the way in a future update. ### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-26 Your stats can finally tell Easy from Hard. - A new Solver rating weights every puzzle you finish by the level you chose, so someone who only plays Easy no longer looks the same as someone who plays Hard. The tile shows the weighting on screen: Easy 1, Medium 2, Hard 4. - 12 new achievements for playing in the deep end, and a "Usual level" tile that reports how you actually play. - You now pick Easy, Medium or Hard AFTER choosing a puzzle, not before. Sharing has been rebuilt. Your finished puzzle now appears on the share card itself, so people see the grid you solved rather than just a time. There is a direct route to Instagram Stories, and the download line is written for places where a pasted link is not tappable. The printable puzzle paper and the e-ink tablet export were rebuilt from scratch. Both now print without clipping on US Letter as well as A4, the crossword is far larger and the solutions page is fixed. Every screen now scales with your text size, which matters if you have set a larger one. Contrast, VoiceOver labels and iPad layouts all had a proper pass too. ### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-19 Version 2.0: the app now speaks 17 languages, with fully native puzzle content in Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. Plus quiet polish throughout. As always: no subscription, no ads, no tracking. ### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-11 Two additions in this update: EXPORT FOR E-INK TABLETS: send today's puzzles to your e-ink tablet as a clean multi-page PDF, word search, crossword and anagrams plus a solutions page. Sized for 3:4 portrait e-readers; sync it over with your tablet's own companion app and write your answers with a stylus, just like paper. SHARE YOUR DAILY: beat today's daily challenge and tap Share to drop a shareable result into Messages or anywhere else, your time and stars, answer hidden. Plus quiet polish throughout. As always: no subscription, no ads, no tracking. ## More apps by Christopher Hardy - [Blood Test](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/blood-test/id960832103) - [Sentient Studio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sentient-studio/id6747010631) - [Kampanion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kampanion/id6759507179) - [AEIOU](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/aeiou/id6766075999) - [Boardalo: Chess & Board Games](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/boardalo-chess-and-board-games/id6768061103) All apps by Christopher Hardy: https://appshunter.io/developer/960832102 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
