McWordy is a fast, focused word-finding game for iPad and iPhone. Trace your finger across adjacent letters to spell as many words as you can before the timer runs out. The longer the word, the more it scores. — SIX GRID SIZES — Play classic 4×4 boards or push yourself on grids up to 8×8 — and a tight 3×3 for quick rounds. — PICK YOUR PACE — Round timers from one minute up to ten, plus an unlimited mode for relaxed play. — REAL DICE, REAL WORDS — 4×4 and 5×5 boards use the authentic 16- and 25-die letter sets. Larger boards use weighted English letter frequency for balanced play. Word validity is checked against a 270,000-word dictionary. — SCORING — Points scale by length: 3 letters earn 60, 5 letters earn 200, 7 letters earn 420, and an 8-letter word is worth 560. Find longer words to climb the board. — TRACK YOUR BEST — Per-grid, per-timer high scores for both total points and most words found. Longest-ever word saved per configuration. New-best notifications celebrate every personal record. — END-OF-ROUND REVIEW — After every round, see your full word list, every word you missed, and tap any word to see its path on the board. — THEME IT — Seven tile palettes and seven wallpapers — mix and match to your taste. Light and dark options for any time of day. — BUILT FOR iPad — Native SwiftUI, optimized for iPad in portrait or landscape, with iPhone support included. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Just words.
