Relay Words

Read full description

Relay Words is a word-chain game built around one clear rule: make a new word that starts with the last letter of the current word. Start from the shown word, build your answer, and keep the chain going. The required start letter stays large and visible at every step so the next move always makes sense. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Classic Relay — No timer. Take your time, find strong words, and push your personal best chain as long as it will go. Timed Relay — 90 seconds on the clock. Stay sharp, answer quickly, and earn speed bonuses for words submitted within 8 seconds. Chase your timed best. Survival — Three lives. Invalid words and skips spend a life. Protect your run, recover carefully, and see how far you can go before the chain breaks. CLEAR FEEDBACK EVERY MOVE Every word either carries the chain forward or explains exactly why it didn't. No ambiguity. No guessing what went wrong. YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR DEVICE Run results save your best chains, stats track your relay style, and cosmetic rewards unlock through play. Everything stays on your device. No account required, no data leaves your phone. BUILT FOR FOCUS No ads. No purchases. No notifications. Relay Words is a game you pick up, play for a few minutes or a long session, and put down with a clear result.

WordBopper is a fast, bouncy, and accessible word game where every letter is waiting to be bopped. Tap letters, build words, score points, and chase that delightful “just one more round” feeling. Make connected words for bonus points, build a streak, and unlock a 3x scoring boost before the clock runs out. It's quick to play, easy to learn, and will have you bopping and making so many words that you may just miss your stop on the train. The Daily Bop will keep bringing you back to find tougher words each day, and will let you ascend through the WordBopper ranks as you level up. If a day is too long to wait, try out the new BopQuest feature! Every month, a new set of themed words will appear. Search for them in any game mode to build up your points and go up in the rankings! If you get them all within the month, you'll get a big ranking bonus. If you'd rather bop words without the pressure of the timer, turn on Non-Stop Mode. Bop to the Top for as long as you want! Try Bopple mode, building words with adjacent letters that never change in the grid. Play solo or with friends, seeing who can Bopple the best! Bop words in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Brazilian Portuguese! This game was built with Accessibility-first design by Blind developers, and is fully accessible to VoiceOver users. Dynamic Type is fully supported, and contains multiple color themes and letter styles for personalization and readability. The Grid Size is adjustable to make the game easier or more challenging, plus Landscape orientation is fully supported for all devices. And for left-handed players out there, toggle Left-Handed Mode to swap the controls over for much easier playability. Created by Chancey Fleet and Marco Salsiccia
