Word by Word: Book Game

How well do you know your favorite book? Word by Word turns any book into a game: the text appears word by word, and you guess what comes next.

Pick a phrase to start from — or the beginning of a chapter — and keep going. For every next word you get a few options: one is the author's, the others are plausible traps picked by an AI model. Guess right and the story moves on. Guess wrong and you lose a life. How far can you get with five?

★ PLAY WITH YOUR OWN BOOKS
Open EPUB, FB2 and MOBI files from your device. Uncheck the parts that aren't the story — table of contents, notes, imprint — and save the book to your library so it's ready to play next time.

★ THOUSANDS OF FREE CLASSICS
Download public-domain books right in the app from Project Gutenberg and Wikisource: Austen, Dickens, Tolstoy, Shelley, Melville, Carroll and many more, in dozens of languages.

★ SMART TRAPS, ON YOUR DEVICE
The word options are suggested by Gemma 3, a compact open language model by Google, running right on your phone. It is downloaded once (about 290 MB) and then works offline — your books never leave your device.

★ THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS
Choose between two, three or four word options. Easy for a relaxed read, Hard when you really know the text.

★ MADE FOR READERS
• Classic book typography with chapters, italics and paragraphs
• Start anywhere: a random phrase or the start of any chapter
• Skip a paragraph that isn't part of the story
• Your library remembers each book's chapter selection

★ NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS
No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Just you and the book.

Interface languages: English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Polski, Português, Türkçe, Русский, Українська.
