Woordbloem
Read full descriptionHide full description
Elke dag bloeit er één nieuwe woordpuzzel. Maak zoveel mogelijk Nederlandse woorden van 4 of meer letters met de 7 letters van de bloem. De hartletter moet in elk woord zitten, letters mag je hergebruiken. Vind je het woord dat alle zeven letters gebruikt? Dan heb je het pangram te pakken en ontvouwt de bloem zich helemaal. VOLLEDIG OFFLINE Woordbloem werkt overal: in het vliegtuig, op de trein door de Ardennen, in de kelder. Geen internet nodig, nooit. De puzzels voor de komende tien jaar zitten in de app, en iedereen krijgt elke dag dezelfde puzzel. GEEN RECLAME, GEEN ACCOUNT, GEEN ABONNEMENT Geen advertenties tussen je woorden. Geen account of e-mailadres. Geen tracking. Je voortgang blijft op je toestel en verhuist automatisch mee via de back-up van je telefoon. ZO WERKT HET • Zeven letters in een bloem: zes blaadjes rond één hartletter • Woorden van 4+ letters, hartletter verplicht, letters herbruikbaar • Hoe meer je vindt, hoe verder de bloem bloeit: van zaadje tot boeket • Elke puzzel bevat minstens één pangram • Maandag mild, zondag stevig: de moeilijkheid groeit met de week VOOR VLAANDEREN ÉN NEDERLAND De woordenlijst is gebouwd op OpenTaal en met de hand bijgestuurd. Ook alledaagse Vlaamse woorden als ajuin, hesp, frigo en witloof tellen gewoon mee. ÉÉN AANKOOP, ALLES ERBIJ De dagpuzzel is gratis, voor altijd. Met één eenmalige aankoop (geen abonnement!) ontgrendel je: • Het volledige archief: speel elke gemiste dag alsnog • Hints: zie hoeveel woorden je nog mist, per beginletter • Statistieken: reeksen, records, pangrammen • Bloemthema's: herfst en winter naast de vertrouwde lente
