Spell together, one picture at a time
- Tap a picture. Rexy says its word, and its squares light up.
- Tap the letters in order. A letter that isn't next just wobbles, and after two goes the right one glows.
- Finish the crossword. Each word sparkles, and the last one brings confetti. Pick Animals, Home or Outside, and Easy, Harder or Hardest.
Made for little hands, with grown-ups in mind
- No adverts, no sign-up, no tracking cookies. Nothing to download, and it never asks for your child's details.
- Keeps nothing on your device. Each crossword starts fresh, with no scores or progress kept.
- Back asks for a grown-up. Leaving the game, and any link to another website, needs the grown-ups sum.
- Gentle by design. No timer and no score. A letter that isn't next just wobbles with a soft sound, never a buzzer.
