AnyWord Xword (Crossword) is a captivating word game with twenty increasingly complex levels. Each level has an intriguing blank crossword grid… with NO clues! Any word from the English language can be used! As the crosswords become more complex (with more words and more intersections) the game becomes ever more challenging! AnyWord Xword is a fun game for the whole family. It’s great for developing vocabulary and dictionary use. It encourages children (and adults!) to play with words.

‘Boxing Clever’ is a game designed to help pupils to develop ‘story sense’ and understand the structural conventions of a simple linear story. The idea was first published in non-digital form by Alan Peat in the 1990s. This app is the first digital version of the now internationally popular game.

Dig deep and put your word skills to the test.

Play any word (3 letters or longer) that you can think of – as long as the first letter of each word begins with the last letter of the previous word.

Your task is simple: squeeze as much juice from the oranges as you can in three minutes.

To squeeze juice from an orange, you have to create words! Each orange is divided into 8 segments (three vowels and five consonants) AND a central vowel. Tap the letters to make a word, then tap ‘GO’ to squeeze the orange and start juicing! Each word must be three or more letters long and MUST include the central vowel. The longer the word, the more juice you’ll make and if you use words with trickier letters, such as J, Q and Z, you’ll make even more juice!
