Fonix
A word game about sounding it out. Every puzzle is a real word, re-spelled so each chunk of letters makes a sound it makes in other words. Read it aloud and you'll hear it.
“ghilltre” → gh like in laugh, re like in acre → filter.
1,500 puzzles
Hand-vetted across three difficulty tiers, from gentle warm-ups to fiendish tongue-twisters.
A daily puzzle
A new puzzle every day, and never one you have already solved. Build a streak and share your win.
Weekend Hard Mode
One hard word for everyone, all weekend. Solve it without a single hint to earn the No hints badge. Free for everyone.
Read It Aloud
A party mode for the whole room. One person reads a puzzle out loud, exactly as it's spelled, and everyone else guesses the real word by ear. 2 to 4 teams, free for everyone.
Speed Round
A solo sprint: sound out as many easy words as you can in 60 seconds and try to beat your best score. Free for everyone, and it never uses up your free puzzles.
Widgets
Today's word, the weekend word and your streak, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Free for everyone.
Hints, then the reveal
A gentle hint ladder for when a word just won't click. Solve it and watch the word break down into the sounds you just decoded.
