WordBook - Literary Puzzle

Ten public-domain classics on the shelf, or bring your own EPUB. Every passage becomes a puzzle. One purchase, no subscription, no ads, nothing collected.

WordBook turns books into puzzles.

Pick a book — one of ten public-domain classics on the shelf, one of the sixty thousand in the online library, or an EPUB of your own. WordBook cuts it into passages, and gives you twenty different ways to put each one back together.

TWENTY WAYS TO READ Reorder the sentences. Reorder the paragraphs. Swap the words back. Unscramble the anagrams. Fill the blanks. Strike the line that does not belong. Restore the substituted letters. Twenty puzzle types, all of them generated from the real text — never from filler.

Finish every passage of a book in one puzzle type and that type counts as read. Twenty ways through, twenty times a book can be finished.

YOUR OWN LIBRARY Ten classics are bundled: Alice, Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, Sherlock Holmes, The Great Gatsby, Peter and Wendy, Grimm's Household Tales, Dorian Gray, The Time Machine, The Wizard of Oz.

Beyond those, browse Project Gutenberg's sixty thousand public-domain books and download any of them, or import an EPUB you already have. Your books stay on your device.

A DAILY CHALLENGE One passage a day, the same one for everybody, with a streak that counts up as long as you keep coming back.

READ IT ALOUD When a passage is back together, the book opens on it — and the device voice can read that page to you. Tap once, or set every page to start on its own.

QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts. No sign-in. No analytics. No advertising. No third-party tracking. Nothing about what you read leaves your device — there is no server of ours to send it to. Works entirely offline, apart from browsing the online library.

Reading size, difficulty, sound and a parchment or night theme are all adjustable. Statistics, fourteen achievements and a commonplace book for the lines worth keeping.

FREE AND FULL Free: one bundled classic, all twenty puzzle types, five passages a day, plus statistics, achievements and the commonplace book.

Full version: a one-time purchase that opens the other nine classics, unlimited passages, the daily challenge, EPUB importing, the online library, and saving a favourite line as a card. Not a subscription — nothing renews.

Every text in WordBook is in the public domain.
