Word Seekr support
Polished word search for iPhone — classic categories, ranked daily challenge, speed runs, badges, and Game Center leaderboards.
Getting help
If something is not working as expected, try the common fixes below. In the app, open Settings for audio, accessibility, Remove Ads, and links to this site.
For questions not covered here, email [email protected] with your device model, iOS version, and what you expected to happen.
Common fixes
- Update to the latest version of Word Seekr from the App Store.
- Restart the app if audio, ads, or leaderboards do not load.
- Check your internet connection for ads, Game Center, and App Store purchases.
- Sign in to Game Center in iOS Settings if ranked times do not appear on Apple leaderboards.
- Stay signed in to iCloud on your device if your player name, avatar, or Cody1 global leaderboard entries do not sync.
- Use Restore purchases in Settings if Remove Ads does not apply after buying.
How to play
- Drag across letters in straight lines to select a word.
- Easy and Medium use simpler directions; Hard and above add backwards reads.
- Find every word in the list to complete the puzzle. The list is always alphabetical (A→Z).
- Sequence difficulty adds a twist: find words in the listed order.
- Open How to Play from the app for difficulty details and iPad grid tiers.
Game modes
- Classic — choose a category, difficulty, and puzzle. One free hint per puzzle shows where a word starts; extra hints may use a short rewarded video unless you removed ads.
- Speed Run — race the clock with no hints.
- Daily Challenge — three themed rounds with one combined timer. Finish all three without hints for a ranked time.
Leaderboards and profile
- Daily Challenge and Speed Run post eligible times to Game Center and Cody1 global leaderboards when you finish without hints. Using hints in Classic is fine, but Classic does not submit ranked times.
- Set your display name and avatar under Player Profile so you appear consistently on boards.
- Open Ranks from the home screen for Game Center leaderboards.
Shared challenge links
Challenge URLs look like https://cody1.co.uk/wordseekr/daily/YYYYMMDD or seeded Classic and Speed Run paths (category, difficulty, and seed).
If a link does not open Word Seekr, install the app from the App Store first, then tap the link again. On the web landing page, use Open in app, or open the link directly on your iPhone.
Links only encode puzzle data — not your account or personal information.
Ads and Remove Ads
Banner ads may appear on the home screen. Rewarded ads are optional and used for extra Classic hints when ads are enabled.
Purchase Remove Ads in Settings to hide banner advertising and skip rewarded hint videos. Restore purchases on a new device if needed.
Privacy
