Wordz
Genius

Words are hidden in a grid of letters. Drag through them before the clock runs out.

A word search you play with your finger: touch a letter and drag through the ones next to it — sideways, up, down or diagonally — to spell a word. Find every hidden word to clear the grid and move up a level.

Wordz Genius on iPhone: a 12×8 grid of letter tiles with a dragged word highlighted in gold

How it plays

Scoring that rewards
good words

Every letter has a value

Q and Z are worth ten, E and A are worth one — the way it works on a tile rack. Long words made of awkward letters are where the points are.

Any word counts

You are not limited to the words the grid was built from. Spot any real dictionary word of 3 to 10 letters and it scores. Finding one nobody planted is the best feeling in the game.

A clock, unless you'd rather not

Each grid gives you time based on how many words are hidden and how far you've come. Switch the timer off in Settings and take as long as you like — words score half while it's off.

Two dictionaries

52,501 English words or 129,204 French. Switch whenever you like. The dictionaries live in the app, so it works entirely offline.

Gets harder as you go

Early grids hide words left‑to‑right and top‑to‑bottom. From level four they start running backwards and upwards too, and the clock gets shorter. A ticker hints the words still to find.

One game, everywhere
