13 word and maths games
Thirteen games with letters and numbers. Five are about words: keep a fragment from becoming a word, decode a postcard written in picture symbols, join word halves into compound words, roll letter wagons until every track spells a word, and steer a boat by typing. Six are maths: a maze of rooms that add and halve, factor pairs as fields of seedlings, fraction hops along a number line, fences with an exact area and perimeter, turns and flips on a grid, and a boat kept level like an equation. Rope and Reckon is a tug of war won with sums, and Home Row Garden teaches touch typing.
New here? Start with Halfwords (join word halves, with a pack for every school year), then Running Total (a maze of rooms that add, subtract, double or halve) or Rope and Reckon (a tug of war for two, won with right answers).

Are they good for school?
They follow school topics without being lessons: factor pairs, fractions on a number line, area and perimeter, turns, flips and slides, solving for an unknown and quick sums, plus compound words and touch typing. No account is needed, and progress stays in this browser on this device.
Do I need a keyboard?
Only for Home Row Garden, which teaches touch typing on a real keyboard and offers on-screen keys on phones for practice. Tiller Type shows an on-screen keyboard on phones, and the others play with taps, clicks or a drag.
Can two people play?
Letter Brink and Rope and Reckon are for two on the same device, or against bots at several levels. Rope and Reckon gives harder sums to whoever is ahead, so a child can take on an adult fairly.
Which ones have a daily challenge?
Secret Postcard, Halfwords, Railyard Words, Running Total, Reedhop Fractions, Flip and Turn and Tiller Type have a daily mode: the same challenge for everyone that day, new at midnight by your device's clock.
