## What is Words Ultra?

Words Ultra is the classic word-building board game, beautifully reimagined for iPhone and iPad.

Place tiles, build crossing words, and chase high-scoring plays across premium squares. Whether you've got two minutes or twenty, there's a mode for you — play solo against a smart computer opponent, take on friends online, or test yourself with a brand-new Daily Challenge.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Standard games on a full 15×15 board
• Quick games on a compact 11×11 board for faster rounds
• Freestyle solo play with no opponent — just you and the board
• Online turn-based matches against friends via Game Center

A SMART OPPONENT
Face a computer player tuned to your level:
• Easy — plays short, gentle words
• Medium — plays solid, mid-range words
• Hard — finds the strongest play it can

A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY
The Daily Challenge gives every player the exact same tiles in the same order, so scores are truly comparable. Build a streak, track your best and average scores, watch your trends, and review your history on a built-in calendar. Optional daily reminders keep your streak alive.

SEVERAL GAMES AT ONCE
Keep a daily challenge, a game against the computer, and a match with a friend all on the go at the same time. Take your daily turn, then flip straight back to whichever game you fancy — nothing is ever lost.

COMPETE & ACHIEVE
• Game Center leaderboards for solo, friends, and global play
• Filter rankings by dictionary and computer difficulty
• 13 achievements to unlock — from your first win to a 7-day Daily streak
• Match history and head-to-head comparisons with friends

TWO DICTIONARIES
Choose US English or GB English (which adds British and international spellings). Switch any time — leaderboards are ranked separately so the comparison is always fair.

MAKE IT YOURS
• 11 gorgeous themes — Emerald, Meadow, Blossom, Lagoon, Twilight, Onyx, Obsidian, Tangerine, Crimson, Stone and Charcoal
• 4 tile finishes — Classic, Wood, Modern and Slate
• Light, Dark, or System appearance
• Sound effects, adjustable volume, and haptic feedback

THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES
• Live score preview before you commit a play
• Select and drag multiple tiles at once
• Optional confirmations before passing
• Show or hide premium squares, and tint the board to match your theme
• 50-point bonus for using all seven tiles in one turn
• Built-in How to Play, scoring, and letter-value guides
• iCloud sync keeps your settings and progress across devices

Download Words Ultra and find your next favourite word.
