Emoji Word Match

Match two tiles, hear the word read aloud. A calm puzzle-style word game for children just starting to read — three levels, and every board can always be finished.

Word Tiles is a calm, friendly matching game for children who are learning to read.

Tap two tiles showing the same word and they lift off the board. The word appears big in the middle and is read aloud — so every match is a tiny reading lesson. See it, hear it, say it.

MADE FOR EARLY READERS • Easy sticks to three-letter words — cat, sun, bus, egg • Medium and Tricky open up to four letters • Words Only mode draws on the short-vowel families children actually practise — -at, -ig, -op, -ug — plus colours, numbers and everyday verbs • Every matched word is spoken clearly, at a slow and patient pace

THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Words + Pictures — the word with a picture below it, for children matching meaning to print • Words Only — reading practice, with no picture to lean on • Pictures Only — for the youngest players, before letters mean anything. Match the pictures, hear the word

NOBODY GETS STUCK • Every board is dealt so it can always be finished • Hint highlights a matching pair and stays put until the next tap — no rush, no timer • Mix reshuffles the remaining tiles, and keeps the board solvable • If a board runs dry, a friendly nudge appears instead of a dead end

BUILT FOR SMALL HANDS • Big tiles, chunky buttons, soft chimes • Tiles that aren't free to play wobble, instead of doing nothing • Sound effects and the spoken word switch on and off separately — keep the voice, drop the chimes • Taps you can feel, even with the sound off • iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape, with the board spreading out to fill the screen

FOR PARENTS • No ads • No in-app purchases • No accounts, no sign-ups, no links out of the app • Works entirely offline • No scores, no streaks, no reason to hurry

Three levels, from ten pairs up to twenty-four. Play a board in a few minutes, or keep going as long as it's fun.
