Burtulis ir ikdienas vārdu minēšanas spēle latviešu valodā - katru dienu jauns piecu burtu vārds, seši mēģinājumi, un krāsainas norādes, kas parāda, cik tuvu esi pareizajai atbildei. Kā spēlēt: uzmini piecu burtu latviešu vārdu sešos mēģinājumos. Pēc katra mēģinājuma burti kļūst zaļi (pareizā vietā), dzelteni (vārdā ir, bet nepareizā vietā) vai pelēki (vārdā nav). Klaviatūra ietver visus latviešu burtus ar diakritiskajām zīmēm (ā, č, ē, ģ, ī, ķ, ļ, ņ, š, ū, ž). Bērnu režīms: vienkāršāku vārdu klāsts, kas piemērots jaunākiem spēlētājiem - lieliski piemērots, lai kopā ar bērnu paplašinātu vārdu krājumu. Pro režīms: 6 burtu vārdi dienas vārdam un neierobežotajā režīmā - izvēlies 5 vai 6 burtus virs laukuma, katram garumam ir sava statistika. Neierobežotais režīms: gribi spēlēt vairāk nekā vienu vārdu dienā? Neierobežotajā režīmā vari minēt cik vārdu vien vēlies, jebkurā laikā. Padoms un padošanās: ja esi iestrēdzis, poga "Padoms" atklāj vārda skaidrojumu (aizklātu, lai neizpaustu atbildi) un pievieno spuldzītes zīmi dalīšanās režģim, nezaudējot kārtu; bērnu režīmā skaidrojums atveras pats, un zīme netiek pievienota. "Padodos" ļauj jebkurā brīdī atklāt vārdu un beigt kārtu - tas skaitās kā zaudējums. Vārdu skaidrojumi: kad esi uzminējis (vai izmantojis visus mēģinājumus), redzi vārda skaidrojumu no Tēzaurs.lv - uzzini ko nozīmē pat vārdi, kurus vēl nezināji. Sērijas un statistika: seko līdzi savai ikdienas sērijai un spēles statistikai katrā režīmā atsevišķi. Dalies ar rezultātu ar draugiem un ģimeni - bez spoileriem, tikai krāsainā režģī. Pieejamība: atbalsta tumšo/gaišo izskatu, palielinātu teksta izmēru un VoiceOver ekrāna lasītāju. Vārdu saraksts un ikdienas vārds sakrīt ar tīmekļa versiju burtulis.reppo.games - salīdzini rezultātus ar draugiem neatkarīgi no tā, vai spēlējat lietotnē vai pārlūkā. Burtulis is a daily Latvian word-guessing game (5-letter words, 6 guesses, Wordle-style colour feedback), plus a Pro mode with 6-letter words, a simpler kids' word pool, an unlimited practice mode, streaks/stats, optional in-round hints and a give-up/surrender action, and word definitions sourced from Tēzaurs.lv after each round. The gameplay itself is Latvian-only by design - there is no English word pool - while the app's own menus and VoiceOver labels are available in your device's system language. Daily words and results match burtulis.reppo.games, the web version.

Verdict

Learn Dutch (Beginners)'s advantage is ratings volume (168 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
