A competitive word game for fast minds.

Fact sheet.

What makes it different.

• Shared-board competition. Players race the same letter grid, so wins come from sharper reading, not luckier letters.
• Real-time multiplayer. Ranked matchmaking, room codes, friends, rematches, quick chat, and spectator-safe rejoin handling.
• Duels in your own time. Challenge a friend, a player near your rank, or someone from today's Daily to two minutes on a board. They have 48 hours to answer on the same board, then both word lists and the rating change are revealed. Open Duels set one score for everyone to beat over 24 hours, and Duels share one rating with live ranked games.
• A weekly knockout. The Weekly Arena runs every week. One 90-second qualifier over the weekend seeds players into brackets, then it is one opponent a day on the same board, with every bracket's results revealed together on Friday.
• Daily and solo depth. Regional daily puzzles, practice variants, bot matches, and twelve campaign worlds with 606 handcrafted levels, six of them free and six in the Beyond the Horizon expansion, a one-time purchase.
• A board that never changes. The Forever Board is one fixed board with its own leaderboard. In Speed Trace players trace the routes the game shows them against the clock, and Steady Trace does the same with no clock.
• Every past Daily. The Archive replays any past Daily board, timed or untimed, without touching scores, streaks or ratings.
• League seasons. Create or join a private league and everyone plays the same daily board. Each table runs for a calendar month, then a champion is crowned and a fresh season starts. Trophies are kept for every member. Built for friend groups, clubs, and workplaces.
• Player-first monetisation. No ads and no forced sign-up. Purchases are optional: avatars, finishes, themes and card backgrounds, Helping Hand hint packs for the campaign, and the Beyond the Horizon expansion. None of them helps in competitive play.
• Accessible by design. VoiceOver reads the board and speaks feedback as the round runs. A tap-to-select mode replaces dragging for anyone who needs it. Themes meet WCAG contrast, Larger Text is supported, and Reduce Motion is respected across the app.
• Word duels inside iMessage. Challenge a friend to an asynchronous word battle without leaving the chat, with no account and no lobby. Results return to the thread with a word replay, titles, and the longest-word reveal. More on the iMessage duel.
• The match follows your lock screen. On recent iPhones, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island show the live word-count race through matchmaking, countdown, the game, and the final rating change.
• Widgets with a daily habit. Home and lock-screen widgets on iPhone carry your streak, shield status, and a Word of the Day. On Android, a home-screen widget carries your streak and a Word of the Day.
• Learn as you play. Look up any word from a finished board without leaving the game, with full definitions built in, and replay how every word was traced.
• A dictionary that takes both spellings. Over 170,000 accepted words, with UK and US spellings scoring equally, so colour and color both count. Your region decides which leaderboard you appear on and never which words are legal.
• An on-device word coach. On supported iPhones, Apple Intelligence picks out a few strong words you missed after a round and helps you learn to spot them faster. It runs entirely on the device, so nothing is sent to a server.
• At home on iPad. The full editorial layout is native to tablets, not a stretched phone screen.

Boilerplate.

Wordy Bunch is a real-time multiplayer word game for iOS and Android. Players drag across adjacent letters to find words, race opponents on the same board, climb regional leaderboards, play a daily challenge, and work through a handcrafted campaign. It is designed as a clean, competitive word game with no ads, anonymous-by-default play, and optional in-app purchases, none of which helps in competitive play.

Wordy Bunch is built by Brainy Bunch Games Limited, a one-person, self-funded studio in the United Kingdom, on a simple premise: modern word games are stuffed with ads, soft paywalls, and tricks designed to keep you opening the app at 3am. This is the version that just respects you. Skill, not slot machines.
