App version of the popular game, with many added features like the option to play together with friends & family on your Wi-Fi! Each 7-letter game is generated on the fly by algorithm. There are over 4000 unique 7 letter games to play! Work your way up from Novice, to Brilliant, to Mastermind, and on to win! There are only two rules to finding words and winning the game: words must be at least 4 letters long, and words must always use the center letter. Some games have only 10 words to find, to win the spelling game... other ones have over 50 words! Use Help to get a word count that will tell you how big the challenge is, see how many you've found, and get hints. There's now also a Game of the Day which is the same for everyone, everywhere. Each game has at least one pangram - a word that uses all 7 of the game's individual letters. Some games have more than one! The game's word list is a partial English dictionary of the most frequently used words that have 7 or fewer unique letters. In your game, you can customize your own personal word list! Here's how it works: if you enter a word that *is* in the English dictionary but *is not* in the game's list, you can add that new word to your own list. That new word will be included in future games, no matter which of your iCloud devices you are playing on!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SpellingGnat at 100% against Spelling Queen Pangrams's 46%. SpellingGnat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Spelling Queen Pangrams's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 22 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spelling Queen Pangrams sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and SpellingGnat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Spelling Queen Pangrams holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spelling Queen Pangrams has 6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Spelling Queen Pangrams's written reviews are positive against 100% of SpellingGnat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spelling Queen Pangrams ships an update monthly, SpellingGnat every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
