Stuck, confused, or found a word we missed? Start here. If your answer isn't below, email support@playworbles.com and a real person will write back.
How do I play?
- Drag letter pieces from the tray onto the board.
- Line letters up into a word of three or more letters, reading left to right or top to bottom. A real word is in tune: it wobbles and clears, and each of its Worbles becomes a note on the music sheet.
- Grumbles creep in from the edges of the board, paving it over so it stays quiet. A crack appears one move before a Grumble climbs through: put a letter on the crack to plug it.
- Wobble a word next to Grumbles and it shakes them apart. Words of five letters or more make a bigger chord that shakes further.
- When the music sheet is full, tap Grand Worble for the Big Wobble and pick where it lands: it shakes a 3×3 patch of the board apart.
- The game is over when none of your pieces fit. Journey levels have their own goal and a set number of pieces.
A word didn't count
If it didn't count, it was out of tune. Worbles uses a curated list of familiar, everyday words, so very rare words, names and abbreviations may not count. Also check that the word reads left to right or top to bottom and is at least three letters long.
Think we've missed a real word? Email it to support@playworbles.com with the subject "Missing word". Good ones go into the next update.
Restoring purchases
Purchases belong to the Apple Account you bought them with, not to one iPhone. To get them back on a new or reset device, sign in to the App Store with that same Apple Account and open Worbles.
If something you bought still isn't there, email us with the item and roughly when you bought it. Please don't send payment card details; we never need them. Apple handles all payments and refunds (see your purchase history in your Apple Account).
Turning off analytics
On the Home screen, tap the gear to open Settings and switch off Share anonymous usage data. From then on the game sends nothing at all. The data was anonymous to begin with: no names, no emails and none of the words you play. Details are in the privacy policy.
Daily reminders
In Settings, switch on Daily reminder and choose a time. You'll get a nudge when a new Daily board is ready, and no reminder on days you've already played. Reminders are scheduled on your iPhone only; nothing is sent anywhere.
Not getting them? Notifications for Worbles may be off in iOS. The game's Settings will show Open iOS Settings; tap it and allow notifications.
When does the Daily reset?
At midnight, local time, in your iPhone's time zone. Each calendar date has one board, the same for everyone, so you and your friends can compare scores for the day.
Can I calm the wobbling down?
Yes. In Settings, switch on Reduce Motion to stop idle bouncing and keep reactions small (the game also follows the iOS Reduce Motion setting). You can turn off Worble faces too, as well as sound and haptics.
Deleting your data
Your progress and settings live only on your iPhone, so deleting the app deletes them. The anonymous statistics can't be tied to you, so there's nothing personal for us to delete; switch off Share anonymous usage data to stop any more being sent. Purchases stay with your Apple Account. More in the privacy policy.
