How a round works

  • Look at the picture.
  • Pop the letter bubbles in order.
  • Hear the word and see it spelled.
  • Earn stars and move on to the next level.

Levels start with short words and move on to longer ones, so a child who is just learning letters can still win.

Words, sorted the way children think

The words live in 29 easy categories: animals, fruits, food, vehicles, the sea, plants, nature, the body, clothes, home, colours, numbers, feelings, sports, places and more. Every word has its own picture. Finish a category's levels and a "New Level" with fresh words opens, so there is always something new to find.

Made for little hands

Big, bright bubbles that are easy to tap. Friendly sea-themed characters and gentle sound effects. Letters and words spoken aloud with your device's voice. It works on phones and tablets.

No ads. No accounts. No internet needed.

Safe by default

There are no ads, no chat and no links out of the app, and nothing is collected. The game asks for no internet permission at all. A "grown-ups only" question guards the Parent area, where adults can see how many words their child has learned in each category, switch sound effects, music and voice on or off, and reset progress. Everything is stored only on the device.

Credits, and what comes next

Sound effects and jingles are from Kenney, released under CC0. The word pictures are Microsoft Fluent Emoji in the 3D style, released under the MIT licence. Thank you to both.

Right now the words are read by your phone's own voice. We would like to replace it with recorded voices in a future version.
