Fair play

Fewer ads. No freezing. Your pace.

We built Fact Hunt around the two things players complain about most in word games: too many ads, and games that slow down at higher levels.

  • No ads in the first 8 levels. After that, never more than 6 a day, and never after a level you didn't finish.
  • Smooth at every level. Tested in long sessions so level 400 runs like level 1.
  • Play offline. No internet needed to play.
  • No clock unless you want one. Discover and Leisure have no timer. Timed modes are there for a challenge.
  • Made for everyone. Larger text, color-blind-friendly colors, reduced motion and high-contrast letters.
