WORD GAME · iOS · FREE

Trust the word, or call the bluff.

A word is dropped on the table — your job is to spot whether it's the real deal or a convincing fake. Daily rounds, mounting streaks, brutal sudden-death — now with a Learn library of thousands of real words and a Word of the Day on your Home Screen.

The pitch, in six bullets:
Real, or convincing fake?
A single word lands on the table. Your job: decide whether it's a genuine dictionary word or a plausible-looking fake. Sounds easy. It isn't.
Daily round + sudden death
One fresh round every day, plus a rapid sudden-death mode where one wrong call ends the streak.
Definitions you didn't know existed
Every correctly-judged word reveals its real definition. You'll come out knowing "borborygmus" and "callipygian" whether you wanted to or not.
Stats that hurt
Per-round accuracy, longest streak, best rapid-fire score. The board tells you exactly how often you were fooled.
New: a word library to explore
A whole Learn tab — browse thousands of real words across 11 shelves, now including Sport, Animals and Places, hear each spoken aloud, and save or heart your favourites.
New: Word of the Day + share cards
A fresh word on your Lock or Home Screen every morning, meaning included, plus gorgeous cards to send any word to a friend in iMessage.
