Her kan du leke med ord og bokstaver. Trykk på en kran for å blåse opp en ny ballong med bokstaven du velger. Samtidig får du høre lyden som tilhører bokstaven. Ballongen vokser seg større hvis du holder inne fingeren på krana. Ballongene svever rolig rundt på skjermen. Dra ballongene ned til bunnen av skjermen for å stave et ord. Da får du igjen høre lyden til bokstaven. Trykk deretter på den grønne knappen for å få fram et bilde som passer til ordet ditt. Ordene du skriver må være på 2, 3, 4 eller 5 bokstaver. Omtrent 1500 forskjellige norske ord gir respons i form av et bilde. Bildene du får frem flyr deretter opp til toppen av skjermen, der de blir synlige som små troféer. Du kan velge mellom små og STORE bokstaver. Du kan også velge rulle-R eller skarre-R. Appen inneholder ikke reklame, lenker eller kjøp-i-app.
