The complete Boggle-like word search experience on your iPhone or iPad. Completely free. Easy to pick up. Play with friends, by yourself, on the go, it's all here. Wordbox is a classic word search game that faithfully recreates the feel and gameplay of the American board game Boggle. It's been carefully handcrafted for your phone, and sports most of the quality of life improvements you’d expect from a modern rendition. Playing is as easy as swiping along adjacent letters to spell out words and pick up points. Play together with friends and family in matches of 2-8 people, or chase the high-scores on your own. Send your friends a challenge to tackle later, or play them simultaneously in just a few clicks. And compete with thousands of others on daily challenge boards to show off your skills! Features. - Free unlimited plays. - Cross-platform support. - Leaderboards to compete on. - Online multiplayer, so you can challenge your friends wherever they may be. - Offline single player for everyone else. - Faithful scoring and random dice orientations for the enthusiasts. - Minimum word length for that extra challenge. - And an old-time, pleasant aesthetic to round it all off. Just to mention a few things that aren't here. - No needless powerups. - No consumable in-app purchases. - No wifi needed to play. If you're experiencing any problems, don't hesitate to send us an email at wordbox.feedback@gmail.com. We'll be much more easily able to help you there! --HOW TO PLAY-- Connect words by swiping along letters in the grid to spell them out, then release your finger to enter the word. If you've found a recognised word, the letters will flash green and your score will be increased! Further instructions on how to play can be found on the help pages by clicking on the help menu icon (?) from the main menu in-game! --WHY AM I SOMETIMES SEEING ADS?-- Wordbox depends on showing the occasional ad to help pay for server costs. There are many features that rely on connecting with our backend in order to work, such as logins, user data backups, multiplayer games, leaderboards, ranked high-scores and the daily challenges. The amount of ads shown will be at the lowest minimum required to make sure things are running smoothly. Keep in mind that making any direct contribution to the app, such as buying any item from the in-game store, will disable all ads forever. Thank you for your understanding and continued support! ## Key features - Boggle-like gameplay - Online multiplayer - Offline single player - Daily challenges - Leaderboards - Cross-platform support ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Space Dice | $2.99 | one-time | | Steel Dice | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 54) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wordbox-word-search-game/id1513812241/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Great Boggle Game *2026-03-11* The biggest problem with this game is the cheat bots. There is no one on earth that can get that high a score in 2 minutes. The good thing is you can choose your own time, and then still see how the 2 min time went for others. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-02-13* I love all of the options it has. It is by far the best word find game out there ### 1/5 — Ad driven *2026-01-20, version 0.1912* The ads. Wow!! Just Wow!! They don’t just run for a few seconds…they take over the entire game for a minute or two at a time. Great idea, but poor revenue plan. ### 3/5 — Duplicate boards? *2026-01-18, version 0.1912* Having so much fun with this simple game. But… Why do I feel like I keep seeing the same letter combinations? ### 5/5 — Great solo boggle *2026-01-14, version 0.1912* Lots of settings/variations; easy to hard, familiar format ### 3/5 — Average boggle experience *2025-12-13* Tried it again searching for ads but couldn’t find any, has multiplayer but is difficult to set up. Not as many game types as the Xbox 360 version I played back in the day but still few good settings like: grid size, minimum word length and gameplay time length. Bland and unappealing 90’s pc game look to it. Overall decent game with limited issues but no outstanding qualities. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-12-10* Having so much fun with this game. At first I thought it would be too simple but it is quite challenging ### 5/5 — Best boggle game there is out there *2025-08-06* Fast loading, smooth, not overwhelming with useless features. Just plain boggle. Ranked mode is good but i dont understand how the scoring works… also the leaderboards in ranked are insane, i cant imagine how people are able to score as high as they do. Great game ### 5/5 — Great game, love it *2025-07-13* The best Boggle-like game I’ve found, quick to load and play, good customizations. Well worth upgrading to get rid of ads, because it’s so addictive. I wish there were better explanations of scores and leaderboards ### 4/5 — please let me copy the multiplayer code *2025-02-14, version 0.1912* the inability to copy the long multiplayer code to share with whoever you’re playing with is a huge issue with this app. i shouldn’t have to write it on paper or take a screenshot. i should just be able to copy it. the app is great otherwise. ## Frequently asked questions about Wordbox ### What is Wordbox?
