What Makes Avowel Stand Out
AVOWEL is a game of longer words! In this official digital adaptation of the board game Wordsy by Gil Hova, you are trying to find the single best word on the board each round. Unlike other word games, you don’t need all the letters in your word to be available, but you’ll want to use as many as you can.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Our favorite game now on iPhone- great online features- well worth the full price.
This is great word making game that doesnt restrict the player to preset letters but rewards longer words and strategic use of letters. Its a winner thats def worth checking out.
We love Wordsy and the fact that its available for iOS is great. Except we paid to be able to play online with friends and am unable to start/join any of our games. And Im unable to submit feedback in the app as it just kicks us out altogether. Disappointing. We really hope the bugs get fixed.
Perfect word game to pick up easily and tough to master. We thought ourselves pretty smart but the easy AI keeps beating us, and so we keep going back for more.
Great to see this game come to iOS. Played in the early days on Android and was a lot of fun. The daily challenge is a great test against the best. Highly recommend.
