Find every word hidden in a board of letter dice — but unlike a typical word search, words never run in a straight line. Can you find them all? How to play Tap dice that touch — up, down, sideways or diagonally — to spell each word on the list, then tap the last die again to submit it. Words bend and zigzag as they go, tracing a shape across the board instead of a straight line, which makes them much harder to spot. Each die can be used only once in a word. Completely free — no ads, no accounts, nothing locked behind a purchase. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development. Four board sizes Start on a gentle 4×4 Tutorial board, then unlock 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7 boards as you go — each one bigger, with more words to find. Play in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Dutch Choose your language in Settings and search for words in that language — it can be a great way to help you learn the language. The words to find are chosen from everyday vocabulary, so every puzzle is fair — no obscure dictionary oddities. Learn as you play Hold a word you've found to see its meaning, from your device's built-in dictionary. Stuck? Hold any word in the list to highlight where it is on the board. Endless puzzles Tap + for a fresh board whenever you like. Your puzzle is saved as you play, so you can pick up where you left off. Colorful and clear Big, bold letters on colorful squares, or switch to plain in Settings. Sound effects and vibration can be turned off too. No internet required to play.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spelling Dice Search at none against Merge Magic!'s shown. Spelling Dice Search also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Merge Magic!'s advantage is chart position (#66 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
