How it works
Simple enough for a four-year-old.
No reading required to get started. Every word can be heard out loud, so pre-readers can play too.
-
Pick a grade
Choose Pre-K, K, 1st or 2nd, then a theme like Animals, Ocean or Sight Words.
-
Find the words
Drag a finger across a word, or tap its first letter and then its last. Found words light up in color.
-
Hear it, earn stars
Tap the speaker to hear any word. Find them all to earn three stars and a little celebration.

Purchases, settings and links sit behind a parental gate.
The parental gate asks a multiplication question that's easy for adults and tough for little ones. It's the only way into purchases, settings, the puzzle maker and the one link that leaves the app. Read the full privacy policy.

Questions
Good to know
Which devices does Word Sprouts work on?
Word Sprouts is coming to iPhone and iPad. The big letter tiles really shine on an iPad.
My child can't read yet. Can they still play?
Yes. Pre-K puzzles use short, simple words, and every word can be read aloud with one tap. Many kids start by matching letter shapes and learn the words along the way.
Which grade should my child start with?
Start with their current grade on Easy. If it feels too hard, try Easy one grade down; if it's a breeze, move up to Medium or Tricky.
Does it need the internet?
No. Every puzzle plays offline. The app only connects to the App Store when you buy or restore Full Access.
Will progress sync between devices?
No. For privacy there are no accounts, so stars and custom puzzles stay on the device where they were made. A Full Access purchase can always be restored on another device signed in with the same Apple Account.
