Wordthrum for iPhone and browser
Swipe letters. Find words. Travel the world.
Swipe letters on a wheel to form words — and fill a crossword grid piece by piece. 300 levels lead through 15 countries to 60 landmarks, each with a short fact. Plus a fresh daily puzzle.
New: version 1.1 has been on the App Store since August 29, 2026 — free for iPhone. Now with real voices and a dictionary-checked word list.
New in version 1.1
- Real voices: Conrad (German) and Andrew (English) now read every word aloud, including all bonus words, plus every landmark fact.
- Dictionary-checked words: The German word list was checked against the dictionary. Abbreviations, names and outdated forms are gone, and 38 levels were rebuilt.
- Reset everything: New in Settings – clears progress, coins and streak and starts the journey over.
- All around: Launch animation, how-to video with instructions in Settings, and the legal notice right inside the app.
What's inside
Letter wheel & grid
Swipe the letters in any order to build a word. If it fits, it drops into the crossword. Extra words earn bonus coins.
A journey around the world
15 countries, 60 landmarks — from the Pyramids to Machu Picchu and Mount Fuji. Each one unlocks a short fact.
Real voices
Tap a solved word to hear it — voiced by Andrew in English and Conrad in German, pre-recorded instead of a system voice. Every word, every bonus word, every landmark fact. Made for everyone who needs support while reading.
Daily puzzle
One new puzzle a day for everyone — with a streak if you keep at it.
No strings
No ads, no purchases, no account, no data collection. Everything stays on your device.
Two languages
German and English with their own checked word lists — switchable in Settings, progress is kept per language.
Also in the browser
Wordthrum runs without installing on iPhone, iPad, Mac and PC: appsthrum.com/wordthrum/web. Same levels, same voices, progress stays in your browser — and as a web app on your home screen it works offline too.
Settings that help
Easy mode with free letter hints, a how-to video with instructions, the legal notice inside the app — and “Reset everything” if you want to start the journey over.
