Un-jumble a daily quotation. Then discover who said it along with interesting trivia about its source. Quotes span centuries and cultures – from Ben Franklin to Groucho Marx, and from ancient philosophers to pop culture icons. HOW TO PLAY You start with a quote where all the letters in each word are jumbled, and the words in the quote are jumbled, too. You then drag letters within a word to spell the word, and drag entire words to reconstruct the original quote. You’ll know you solved the quote when you see the “bling” and learn the quote's source. SHARE A GAME WITH A FRIEND If the quote in today’s game would resonate with a friend who enjoys word games, share the game with them. Long-press the game you want to share. Then choose “Share This Game” to send your friend a link to the game. Your friend can play the game to un-jumble the quote right away; they don’t need the Quote Jumble app. CREATE A GAME FOR FRIENDS Long-press anywhere and choose “Try Your Own” to create your own phrase to un-jumble, along with the success text that appears when the game is solved. Then use “Share This Game” to send the game to a friend. You can even include emojis! Share your own favorite quote, invite someone special on a date, or reveal a big announcement–all while your friends enjoy playing Quote Jumble! USE QUOTE JUMBLE WITH YOUNG READERS Use “Try Your Own” to turn learning to read into an engaging game. Create a phrase your child can un-jumble on their own, and congratulate them by name in the success text. Include a familiar emoji in the phrase as a picture clue to introducing a new word, then reveal how to spell the word in the success text. FEATURES • Intuitive drag-and-drop word play that's tactile and fun; a help page shows how to play • A new quote every day with a bonus game if you solve it • An interesting bit of trivia behind each solved quote • Long-press on any word for hints • “Share This Game” for texting or emailing a game to a friend; they don’t need the Quote Jumble app to play • “Try Your Own” to create your own phrase for a friend to un-jumble; you can even use emojis! • Dark mode for comfortable evening play ULTIMATE SPELLING AND ANAGRAM GAME Quote Jumble is a great fit for any word-game enthusiast who likes anagrams and spelling games, and who would enjoy a smile or bit of wisdom, in just a few minutes a day.

Words are falling. Get them down before they get ideas. WordsDown is a fast, satisfying word game where falling letters become words, combos, close calls, and occasionally something you swear is in the dictionary. Spell words of four letters or more to clear them. Longer words score bigger. Chain them fast enough and the board catches fire — that’s FRENZY. Everything scores double while it burns, including your questionable decisions. SIMPLE TO LEARN. RUDELY HARD TO PUT DOWN. Letters fall. You make words. Words disappear. You feel clever. The game notices. Things get faster. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY CLASSIC — Endless. Chill, Fast, or Faster. Faster is less of a speed and more of a threat. DAILY — One board. Same for everyone. Once a day. Miss it and your streak will be taking this personally. WORD TRIP — 1,500 handcrafted levels, each with its own rules. A boss waits at the end of every chapter. Three stars if you’re brilliant. One if you technically survived. RELAX — No game over. No pressure. The letters have nowhere else to be. YOUR BAG OF TRICKS When the board fights dirty, fight significantly dirtier. PAUSEICLE! freezes everything solid. THREEDOM! makes three-letter words legal. Finally, CAT gets its moment. SPELLOOSHI! finds a word for you. You absolutely found it yourself. UFOh! calls in a squadron because apparently spelling needed air support. Then there are wildcards, bombs, lasers, a firewall, and Letter Storm — for those rare moments when what your word game really needs is more letters. 42 THEMES Not wallpapers. Actual themes. Tiles, sounds, colors, the whole thing. There are 42 of them, which is roughly 37 more than you needed and exactly as many as we wanted. Fair warning: choosing one may take longer than your next game. CHASE YOUR BEST Beat your high score. Climb the Game Center leaderboards. Collect achievements. Protect your streak. Develop an unreasonable emotional attachment to the letter S. And see how long you can keep the board under control. Whether you play word games every day or just enjoy discovering suspiciously impressive vocabulary under pressure, WordsDown is always one letter away from disaster. Get your words down.
