Say "cat" backwards, record it, then hear it in reverse — how close to "cat" can you get? Backwords is a brand-new voice game: say the given word backwards, record it, and see how close your reversed voice gets to the real thing. HOW TO PLAY (3 steps) 1. Say the word (e.g. "cat") out loud, normally, and record it 2. Hear it played in reverse — that strange sound is your target 3. Copy that sound and record again. Flip it back, and your voice becomes "cat" REAL VOICE SCORING No speech recognition — your actual voice is analyzed across Overall, Vowel, Consonant, Rhythm, Pitch and Clarity, shown on a radar chart. The more you practise, the higher you climb. SOLO OR TOGETHER A daily word, free mode (use any word or song lyric you like), random play, a word collection to complete, pass-and-play battles, a reverse-guessing quiz, and online matches — a Friend Battle with a room code, or a one-tap Rate Match that finds you an opponent instantly. SHARE IT Every result becomes a 9:16 vertical video with the broken take and the restored take back to back, so whoever watches hears the flip for themselves. FRIENDLY & PRIVATE Free to play, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Your voice is processed entirely on your device and never leaves your phone — online matches exchange only names and scores. You can watch an optional rewarded video ad to earn extra coins; playing never requires it. An ad may occasionally appear after a results screen, never in the middle of a round. Everything except online matches and ads works in airplane mode. How close to the real word can you get?
