Wordable is a social word-building game where you race a 90-second clock to find as many words as you can on a board of scrambled letter tiles — head-to-head against friends, strangers, or Wordabot. It's a quick brain workout that's easy to pick up but gets very strategic. Jump in and play today! How it works: You and your opponent get the same board of scrambled letter tiles and 90 seconds. Find and form as many valid words as you can before time runs out. Scoring rewards rare letters and word length — a short word with a Z or Q can outscore a longer common one, and every extra letter multiplies your score, so stacking on -ed, -ly, or -ing pays off big. Game modes: ∙ Arena — A daily competition where every player gets the exact same board and one shot to post their best score. Global leaderboard with Gold, Silver, and Bronze trophy tiers. New Arena every day. ∙ Head-to-Head Challenges — Send a challenge to a friend, or tap "Match Me" to get paired with a stranger. Same board, compare scores. ∙ Wordable Live — Real-time multiplayer, including team mode. ∙ Wordabot — An AI opponent that adapts to your skill level. Play as much as you want, no sign-up needed. Learning side: Wordable doubles as a vocabulary builder. It includes a full browsable dictionary in-app, plus almost 1,000 Vocab Boosters with memory tricks, example sentences, and illustrations. After every game, an AI Game Review shows you the higher-scoring words you missed. The vibe: Fast, social, and impossible to play just once. Every round is a 90-second brain workout — climb leaderboards, challenge friends, and grow your vocabulary. Free to play. Wordable.

Word Bites: Deliciously Fun Five clues. Sixteen tiles. Every tile belongs to exactly one answer, and all sixteen get used. Word Bites is a word puzzle built out of pieces. Instead of typing letters, you snap syllable tiles together — PIC + TU + RES — until every clue on the board is solved. Nothing is left over, and nothing is missing. When the last tile lands, the puzzle is finished exactly. It's a quiet game. No timers, no lives, no energy meter waiting to refill, and no ads. Play one puzzle on a train platform or ten on the sofa. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap tiles to build a word, then check your answer • Tap a clue to pick up whatever a hint has already revealed • Shake the phone to shuffle the tiles • Stuck? A hint uncovers one piece of an unsolved answer — never the last one, so the solve is always yours 615 PUZZLES • 12 free packs to start — 200 levels, open from the beginning • 12 premium packs — 300 levels across Movies, Sports, History, Science, Art, Music, Technology, Geography, Literature, TV, Celebrities and Food • 8 bonus packs — 115 levels, earned rather than bought FREE HINTS EVERY DAY Open the game and collect a hint, every day. Three on your first day to get you going. Miss a day and nothing is taken away — the hints just keep coming when you come back. BONUS PACKS YOU EARN Every bonus pack asks for something different. Some open as you finish levels, some as the days you play add up, and some for a small favour. None of them cost anything. PLAYS ANYWHERE Every puzzle is on your device. No account, no sign-in, no connection needed. https://threetap.com/wordbites/privacy https://threetap.com/wordbites/terms
