About Wizzy Words
Wizzy Words is an early-reading game built on pictures and sounds. Every word comes with a picture, and children can tap the speaker to hear it. In First Letter, they find the letter a word starts with; in Missing Letter, they fill the gap; and in Spell It, they put mixed-up letters in the right order.
Each game is 10 words. A wrong letter is simply crossed out so children can try again, and every word right first time earns a star.
