Word Puddle

Read full description

Word Puddle is a cozy word game for kids that grows a living watershed as they play. Drag across the letter puddle to spell words, fill the crossword, and watch ponds, creeks, and marshes bloom to life with every level. Made by a dad for his own kids. No ads, ever. Never pay to win. SPELL AND GROW Every finished level grows the world behind the game. Rain pools into a first puddle, the puddle becomes a pond, herons arrive, and ten watery habitats fill in one by one. Kids can always see what they will grow next. FIND BONUS WORDS Extra words are never wrong answers. Each one is a reward: it drops a droplet into the Puddle Meter, and when the puddle splashes, a new Puddle Pal surfaces to live in the scene. COLLECT AND CUSTOMIZE Earn coins by playing, then spend them on puddle styles, trace effects, tile colors, and celebrations. Collect stickers by discovering their words. You never need to buy anything to enjoy the whole game. FIVE WORLDS, ONE FAMILY With over 4,000 levels across five worlds: - Sprout: first words, short and sweet - Explorer: bigger words for word detectives - Champion: tricky puzzles for super spellers - Grown-Up: the full challenge - Sesquipedalian: eight-letter wheels for word champions Grown-ups get a real word game too, so the whole family can play the same app. KIND BY DESIGN - No ads, no tracking, nothing leaves your device - Hints are free and refill every level - No timers, no failure, no pressure - Words are spoken aloud so early readers connect spelling to sound - VoiceOver, Reduce Motion, and haptics settings supported FOR PARENTS Word Puddle collects no personal data. Optional purchases (a cosmetic pack and convenience coins) exist to support the developer and sit behind a parental gate. They are never required to play or win. The full privacy policy is available inside the app and at frazerdesignco.com. Come grow your puddle. The water is warm!
