## What is Wordugtong?

Wordugtong is the Filipino word-hunt game — race the clock to find as many hidden words as you can in the letter grid!

Swipe across connected letters to spell words in Tagalog, Bisaya, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, or English. The longer the word, the higher your score. It's the classic word-search-meets-Boggle, reimagined for Pinoy vocabulary.

FIVE LANGUAGES
Play in Tagalog, Cebuano (Bisaya), Ilocano, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), or English — each with its own curated dictionary.

DAILY CHALLENGE
Fresh 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 boards every single day. Everyone plays the same grids, so you can climb the daily leaderboard and compare with players across the country. Missed a day? Revisit past boards on the calendar.

LIVE DUELS
Challenge a friend to a real-time head-to-head on the same board. Highest score wins — then tap Rematch and run it back.

RANDOM ROUNDS
Endless practice boards in any size and language, anytime you want a quick game.

LEADERBOARDS AND MEDALS
Daily rankings for each grid size, plus an all-time Total Score board. Earn gold, silver, and bronze.

LEARN AS YOU PLAY
After each round, tap your word count to reveal every possible word on the board — see what you missed and grow your vocabulary.

No account required. Plays great offline. Quick rounds made for a coffee break or a long commute.

Mabuhay ang salita! Download Wordugtong and prove you're the henyo of Pinoy words.
