WordKare helps you grow your English vocabulary by solving crosswords. Clues are short, simple English definitions, and every answer is an English word. Each square makes you think about what a word means and how to spell it. HOW IT WORKS • 1890+ crosswords across five levels, A1 to C1 • C1 · Academic covers the vocabulary core shared by IELTS, TOEFL, YDS and YÖKDİL — the words, not test tactics: there are no practice exams or score claims • C1 puzzles use a 9×9 grid, so C1 stays closed on small phones such as the iPhone SE • A short 15-word placement test at the start; daily puzzles are picked for your level • On iPhone and iPad, with landscape and portrait on iPad • Type letters with the app's own keyboard, built for crosswords • The light bulb reveals a letter, and the check button marks wrong letters • A short celebration and a session summary when you finish MAKE WORDS STICK • Every word you solve is saved to your list, with its definition, part of speech and level • Review asks you each word right before you would forget it (spaced repetition) • Listen to the English pronunciation • Words you find on your own stick faster HABIT • Daily streak, grown as a chain of tiles, and a daily goal • Streak protection: miss a day and your streak is safe • Badges and statistics PRIVACY • Works fully offline • No account, no ads; WordKare collects no data • Your progress stays on your device; optionally turn on achievements and leaderboards (off by default, Game Center) If you spot a wrong clue, report it from the ••• menu on the puzzle screen. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-05 New in WordKare 1.4: a Halloween theme from Oct 1 to Nov 2 — pumpkin orange and purple colors, pumpkin, bat and ghost confetti, and an animated spider. It comes by itself during the dates and you can turn it off in Settings; after Nov 2 you go back to your own theme automatically. Optional Halloween sounds (off by default, silent when your phone is on silent) and an alternate app icon. New: achievements and leaderboards through Game Center (iOS, optional, off by default): your badges become achievements, and your longest streak, words learned and puzzles solved appear on leaderboards. Also: when you leave a puzzle and come back, hints and wrong tries now count correctly toward your learning progress. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-02 New in WordKare 1.4: a Halloween theme from Oct 1 to Nov 2 — pumpkin orange and purple colors, pumpkin, bat and ghost confetti, and an animated spider.

C1 puzzles use a 9×9 grid with words up to nine letters. • Five levels now, A1 to C1, in more than 1890 crosswords, and a new badge when you reach C1. • Your streak is now a chain of tiles: each day adds a tile with the first letter of a word you solved. A bridge tile covers a day you miss. • Your word list shows each word's level, and you can filter by level. • Long clues are now easy to read on iPhone. • C1 needs a larger screen, so it stays closed on small phones such as the iPhone SE. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-24 WordKare now speaks English and Spanish.
