About Word Balloons

Word Balloons is a gentle letter-guessing game. A secret word is shown as a row of blanks, with a hint such as Animal, Food or Space. Guess one letter at a time. If the letter is in the word, it fills every blank where it appears.

Six balloons hold up a little basket, and every wrong guess pops one. Solve the word before they’re all gone! Each word you solve scores 1 point plus 1 for every balloon still flying, then your balloons refill for the next word. How many words can you solve in a row?

How to play

  1. Press Play. Read the hint and count the blanks.
  2. Choose a letter from the keyboard (or type it).
  3. Right letters fill in the word. Wrong letters pop a balloon.
  4. Solve the word to score and get fresh balloons. The game ends when all six balloons pop.
