You have 10 minutes to unscramble a set of 8 unique letters and build as many words as possible. There is always 1 letter that is required to be in the word. Each word you find adds a bit more time to the clock. There are two game modes that you can choose from each day. Battle mode (2-16 players) You can play against your friends in this mode. The results will update live. When you're winning, your screen is green and when you're losing, it turns red. It gets very exciting. Solo mode Don't have anyone else to play with? That's okay. We have a solo mode too. If you make it to Genius alone, then you truly are one. Good luck. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bloobi holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Bloobi's written reviews are positive against 100% of RankWithFriends's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bloobi ships an update fortnightly, RankWithFriends monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
