SpellShot

SpellShot

Sling the missing letter before your rival does.

Drag a tile down, slide it until the needle sits in the green, and let go. Or just tap a tile.

Word: Z E, blank, R A. Hint: Striped horse-like grazer.

A head-to-head word duel for iPhone. Every word drops with one letter missing and four tiles to choose from. Pick the right one, pull it back and sling it into the portal. The first correct letter in claims the word.

Coming soonon the App Store

Free, for iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

How a duel works

You and a rival get the same word at the same time. It takes a sharp eye and a steady hand.

  1. 1Read the word

    One letter is missing. A short hint tells you what the word is about.

  2. 2Find the letter

    Four tiles, one right answer. A wrong letter costs you time, and three wrong lock you out of that word.

  3. 3Aim for the green

    Pull the tile down and slide it until the needle sits in the green. The green moves on every word.

  4. 4First in claims it

    Your rival is racing for the same word. The first right letter through the portal wins it.

  5. 5Best of three

    The words get harder each round, from everyday to tricky spellings. A tie goes to sudden death.
