A gentle alphabet app built around meaningful words — including the ones you add yourself, with your own family photos.
No ads · No sign-up · Nothing collected
Every other alphabet app teaches the same generic words. Wordplay lets you snap a photo, type a word, and turn it into a game — so a child who shrugs at “CAT” lights up at their own name. Meaningful words are how reading really starts.
Each game teaches letters through unhurried play — with real phonetic sounds on every correct answer.
Drag chunky letter tiles onto the word, with forgiving snap-to-place for little fingers.
Rebuild the word from memory, with just enough extra letters to make them think.
Pop the bubble that starts with the right letter. Simple, satisfying, forgiving.
Pick the missing car to complete the word as the train rolls along the track.
Feed the friendly monster the letter it asks for. A giggle every time.
Every right answer plays the letter’s true phonetic sound — “B says buh.”
No flashing rewards, no candy-coloured chaos — an app your child can actually wind down with.
No advertising, no ad trackers, no sponsored anything. We never will.
Works with no account and no internet. Nothing to sign up for.
Custom-word photos live only on your device. We never upload or analyse them.
A swipe-and-hold gate keeps settings and edits out of little hands.
Download Wordplay, hand it over, and listen for the first “B says buh!”
