A Glimpse into Wordly™
Wordly brings the classic word scramble game to iPhone. It is a simple, fun and addictive puzzle game, in which the objective is to find and trace as many words as possible on a randomly generated board before the clock runs out.
Form valid words by tracing letters on the board with your finger. Words can only be formed by connecting neighbouring letters, and the minimum word length is 3 letters. When you think you have found a word, release your finger from the board, and if valid, you score a point in the game.
Features:
- All possible words shown at the end of a game
- Board quality checker, to ensure there’s plenty of words to find
- Features an untimed mode
- Choose your own game time limit
- Intuitive user interface

"Wordly is great. Once you get used to the idea that there are dozens of obscure words you’ve never heard of, this game is just great. My kids play it, my wife plays it – it is so addictive. The best £1.19 I ever spent on anything!!"

We love the challenge and it is highly addictive but hate we are struggling to get over 80 percent. More fun than boggle since not on timeframe.
Hi, love the game so far. Only thing we would like to see is the ability to rotate the board 90 degrees.
This game has become our every day usual, we would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to play. We go to school every day and this game helps with vocabulary and teaching kids new words and Adults too.
Sometimes you download a game and think this will be fun then you are deleting the game before you know it. This game is fun and relaxing and we highly recommend you try it at least.
It is a really good app because it teaches word at has not been said for a while Im so good at reading now.
Your WORDLY app is excellent brain exercise. It runs very smoothly without glitches or freezing, which allows for good concentration. It helps your brain to move quickly and fluidly. If you practice, you can quickly see that you are improving , which not only is intrinsically rewarding , but compels you to try harder! We think one of the best aspects of your app is the feedback it gives informationally. When you finish a game it gives you a score, the number of words you have produced, and what percentage of all available words that represents. Best of all, it shows you a list of all the possible words that were available to be composed from the letter grid. If you spend a few minutes studying this list each time, you will find that the words available in your mind and on each successive look at a new game grid enlarges! Of the various word games we have tried in app form, this is the absolute best! MRM PS: And the fact that it can be played in just a few minutes allows a person, who wants to challenge themselves and exercise their brain, to use it frequently even if, as we all do, they have a busy life.
We look forward each day to play.
Very nice way to exercise your brain and learn additional words.
Great game word easy to use. Could be designed better to help with vocabulary of words. Please insert into the dictionary a function of speaking the words. And perhaps an example of how old are used in a sentence. If you want as we play it we could help in the development if you want. Im 72 years old but has an engineer never read much and we wish we had a better vocabulary maybe this will help.
You get to see all possible words and it calculates a percent of words found.
We like how uncluttered it is compared to some word games. You just play without a lot of gamification rules that feel so controlling. Wish it had a spin or rotate feature so we could rotate the board during a game. That would be a huge feature to make it more playable. Also wish we could take turns playing with a friend.
Really like the design with hand written letters and lines that show up. We wish it had a greater level of difficulty such as a 5 x 5 square or maybe 6 x 6. Very nice game though.
We would give 5 stars if there were a dark mode. We have insomnia and like to use games like this to tire us out but have migraines that can be triggered by the bright white. We love the game, have played for a long time. Definitely recommend.
The dictionary is bad and includes proper nouns, abbreviations, misspellings, etc. The free app is OK but definitely dont pay for the premium so you can access the dictionary. Its garbage.
This game keeps resetting, forcing you to start a new game. This is super frustrating. Please fix.
This is a great boggle app. But we dont understand why it needs a subscription plan and not a one-time purchase. Ah well. Seems like other people like it, though, so theyre clearly motivated to keep it.
As close to the good ole Boggle as we have found. Would consider the monthly plan but it’s missing two crucial elements… 1) The ability to rotate the screen. 2) Not putting a "u" automatically with the "Q". It would be nice to be able to shake your phone, to mix up the cubes, to start each game too.
We download this game since we love boggle. Great challenges and perfect time limits. However we find frequently common words not in the dictionary preventing use. For example: zen, June, July. Whereas there are many words allowed not in the English dictionary or are acronyms for tech items. We love the concept of this game, but please add a function to allow submission of suggested words to be added.
We love how this game makes us think and rethink. What we didnt love is the ads that appear after EACH game. Its annoying and intrusive, particularly when you click on skip ad and it keeps going. Or starts over. Forget about playing at bedtime. Even with setting to sound off the ads play sound loud and clear. We just deleted. Love the game, not the frustration of our time being forcibly invaded so frequently.
Update: originally gave 5 stars, because it was a no ads (too good to be true) game. Then after we rated it 5 stars and played about 2 more games- there came the ads. And much like some other apps we’ve tried – the spam emails started almost immediately after we engaged with the app. Original: Great to play, especially easy to learn – tough to master. Chance to improve your scores, learn new words, and challenge yourself. Am a fan of, and play a lot of, word games. This is one of our new faves!
No ability to adjust the complexity of the game.
We like the format, but their dictionary kills us. 2 masters degrees, 10 years as a librarian, and yet we look through the list of words that we missed, and its full of things we’ve never once heard or seen. And sometimes Spanish words, but not all, and not in any pattern we can see. We enjoy looking through the list to see what we missed, and feel like oh, hey, we overlooked that, oops! Not of course we missed that gibberish.
This game used to be great when it had no ads and we would have gladly paid to buy it prior to installing it. After having it on our phone for a while they performed and update that put ads in after every single game. We dont mind supporting devs but hate bait and switch tactics. Uninstalling the game right after we post this review. We wish devs would be honest.
The annoying font used forthe completed words makes the game more difficult , as does the huge size of the letters in the blocks. Word Blitz has a better set up However, we do like the running list of words found, and the fact that games can be replayed.
We were enjoying this game except for the ads. Then a pop-up appeared saying we could pay a one-time fee for no ads forever. That was last week. We paid it, and now we have ads again. The game is telling us we have to subscribe to the premium edition to get no ads. This was a rip-off. We deserve a refund! DO NOT FALL FOR THE NO-ADS POP-UP!!
We wanted to play a Boggle like game and saw Boggle with Friends first. It is full of ads and gimmicks. We just wanted a good old fashioned way to play Boggle on our phone when Im bored. This is much better. Not ads. Tells you the words you missed. We enjoy it. Thank you for not trying to spam us with ads.
As a person who paid them already for their odd dictionary, we resent their recent move to grab yet more money from us for a monthly subscription, threatening us with ads unless we pay AGAIN! We used to like this app; now we have deleted it rather than allow myself to be ripped off. CAVEAT, yall. These guys have elected to dump on their loyal customers and we will not just go along.
Most apps are designed to get your attention and then get your money. This has no gated content, no energy mechanism, no pay to win element. This is just boggle. Sweet!
Not sure if itd be too complicated to do, but sometimes when looking at their dictionary, the definition refers to another word that we have no idea of the definition. Itd be great if that word could be linked to its definition too. Example: seti is an alternate spelling for suttee. Thats all. Whats suttee mean? Of course we can get online to look it up. But we would love to be able to not have to do that several times during our play. Overall a very fun game though! Addition: we would very much like to be able to see all the words we made, not just the ones that were on your list. Example: just did a game where we made the words lotion, and grouting, but didnt get credit for them because theyre not on your list. Whatever dictionary youre using is oddhas some proper nouns but completely skips other words that are in common usage.
We’ve already subscribed! Love the design and interface! Can you add a circular arrow in the corner so we can turn the board by quarter turns in order to see possible words from different directions… And, can you please add the option for landscape orientation for us iPad users :)
This game is an awesome game it helps people too spell. Its very fun too, it has alit of words too fill. But it is an awesome game some words are hard too find but this game is one of the most awesome games ever! It has a aesthetic feeling when its in cursive, ty for letting us review! ()
We really enjoy this app – to the point of paying for an annual premium. But the ads keep coming! How do we rectify?
But be aware it likely uses a British dictionary.
Vendor said that our purchase of the game before their new subscription service is still valid- just restore purchases. We see no means to restore purchases within the app. Only the means to subscribe. So much for that advice… And no response from the developer. We get it that you wish to make a living this, but switching horses mid race as you have done is flatly unethical if not fraudulent. Haha! Unfair review! How about unfair practices? We purchased the game with the expectation of no ads. Then you changed to a subscription model rendering that purchase moot. We purchased in good faith- faith that was poorly placed. Whos been unfair? By the way, and repeating: we CAN FIND NO MEANS TO RESTORE PURCHASES IN YOUR APP AS YOU SUGGESTED we DO…
Thank you for this app! A few years ago the old boggle app turned into boggle with friends and is way too over the top and confusing to play. We’ve been looking for an app to fill our word find void. We enjoy the solo games. This app is perfect and uncomplicated!! Thank you.
We’ve tried a lot of these boggle type games since classic boggle was discontinued. This one is the most graphically enjoyable version by far. Excellent for one person. But Id love a partner option (like the one called Bogl) where two people sitting next to each other take turns with the same board (NOT an online competition) and there is a winner. Classic boggle also had a way they listed the words at the end to see which player found which words. With a two person option, this game would easily get 5 stars. Even six.
Yes on getting rid of them. The game is WORDly, not ACRONYMly. We do not enjoy all the non-words being included. We’ve stopped playing the game very often because of all the non words that are included.
Was a neat game for years. Then the dreaded ads. Not good enough to pay or suffer through the ad avalanche.
Updated 23 Oct 3019 They fixed the scoring issue within 48 hours! These guys are the best. Any who likes this game, but isnt willing to pay $6 a year to support the developer is nuts. Or spoiled rotten. Five stars! Updated 19 Oct 2019 Removing one star: when returing to game while it’s still open in multitasking, it doesn’t save the score, but behaves as if whatever words you find are the first ones (even if you already have dozens). Will add a star back when this is fixed. And we should also point out, that while the developer has been very responsive, the website contact page is broken. But they may be also responding to email. Original review (after previous update): As of the latest update, we find this app to be back to the reasons we used it for so long (at least three years now). They fixed the non-saving problem while still open. They also notified us that they were doing it. We see that they now have some kind of subscription model. And while we can certainly understand that, it should have been more clear in the update info. But it’s worth the annual subscription for us to play this. And we need to add that we had downgraded our rating to three stars, due to a new crash when replay option was used. The developer fixed that within 24 hours! This was the second time they responded to a compaint with a quick update. Five stars. Recommended for those who like acrostic hidden word games.
LOL. You were asking for 5 star reviews on a game where progress was not saved? Asking for 5 stars and subscriptions so you can further develop the game? No, you add features to EARN higher reviews. You develop the game to EARN higher reviews. OK, now you add progress saving while backgrounded. NOT good enough. Darn near every game out there saves progress when the game is off and not loaded/backgrounded. Add THAT and youll get a subscription and 5 stars from us. Until then its 3 stars.
Sooo IRRITATED! Not sure what changed, but this app CRASHES every time we open it to play on our iPad, now! We have to delete & reinstall the app, but after a short time, it crashes again! HELP!!
Wordly now had ads that are pervasive and annoying. In addition, we used to be able to suspend the play and go back to it. Now, the app puts us into a new game without warning or throws us into a space to purchase other games. For an annual $10 fee, supposedly there will be no ads; will we be able to finish a game without losing the original game? Our conclusion: we are finished with Wordly.
It challenges us and helps us remember words.
We really enjoy playing this game, but it gets frustrating when it doesnt recognize some words as actual words. We look them up in the dictionary to make sure Im not misspelling them. It happens a lot.
Whats up with omitting words like anal? Come on. Its a medical term. Also, Id like a button that says, doubt for some of the crazy so-called words that the apps dictionary uses. Still like the game, though.
We really enjoy the game. We are thankful for the end button. Often there are too many odd letters on the board and we dislike it. Try to put more frequently used letters. People like to score!!!
No way to save games. VERY aggravating. Words we’ve never heard of. Otherwise great game. Too bad Im gonna have to delete.
We love word-search games, but this developer lacks attention to detail, hasn’t offered a meaningful update in years, and the game has serious issues: 1. Game progress isn’t saved. When we leave the game and later return, everything is lost, and we’re forced to start a new game. This is simply inexcusable. 2. Game uses a very bizarre dictionary, including archaic words and even acronyms like "emf," which aren’t words at all (and should be capitalized as "EMF"). Yetcommon acronyms like "EMT" are rejected! Acronyms are not words and should be disallowed all together. But be consistent: Either allow ALL acronyms (problematic) or disallow all. Which is it? 3. No way to alphabetize words we’ve found, which would make it easier to review the list. 4. Display hasn’t been updated for larger iPhones, so there’s ugly, blank space above and below the game. What’s it been now? 4 years? 5. Outdated user interface still uses buttons from iOS 3 or 4, which have been pass for years. 6. Can’t access settings without clearing the game. 7. Can’t save a game to replay another time. 8. There are two buttons for sending feedback, which is redundant, and the buttons have different icons. (A minor issue, but untidy.) we would LOVE to see this game become what it could be, and we hope the developer will take the time to improve it. :-)
