Vocably

Guess the word, then learn what it means.

Vocably is a five-letter word puzzle that teaches you a new word every time you play. You have six tries. After each guess, the tiles show which letters are in the word and which are in the right spot. Win or lose, every game ends with what the word means.

2,640 WORDS TO LEARN
Every level is a new word. The words come easier first, then mix, and there's no daily limit: play one level or fifty.

THE MEANING, EVERY TIME
Each word comes with a plain meaning, an example sentence and how to say it. Tap Listen to hear it said in your device's own voice.

A DAILY WORD
The same word for every player each day, with its own streak and stats.

WORDS THAT STAY WITH YOU
Every word you play is kept in your Words tab, to search, favourite and look back on. Review brings back the words you missed, or found with a hint, while they're still fresh.

STREAKS, STATS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Watch your win streak and Daily streak grow, see how many guesses you usually need, and unlock 20 achievements. Share a result or your stats as a picture, with the word hidden if you like.

LEADERBOARDS, IF YOU WANT THEM
Compare your three best scores with other players on Game Center. Leaderboards stay off until you turn them on.

HINTS WHEN YOU'RE STUCK
You start with 10 hint credits and earn more as you play: one every 5 wins, and one for each Daily Word. Spend them to see the meaning, remove letters or reveal a letter. Optional hint packs are there if you want more. Learning is always free: meanings, pronunciation and review never cost a credit.

MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
Light and dark themes, high-contrast tiles, hard mode, reduce motion, and support for larger text and VoiceOver. On iPad, the board sits beside a panel with your hints, the meaning and the result, in any orientation or window size.

PRIVATE, AND WORKS OFFLINE
No ads, no account and no tracking. Every word is on your device, and so is your progress.
