See the letters. Say the word. Beat your rivals.

Bum: Voice Word Game is a word game you play with your voice. Look at the letters and the rule on screen and say a word: right, and the points are yours; wrong, and you lose a life. Three mistakes and you’re out; the last one standing wins. Play with 2–4 people on one phone, or solo with QUICK PLAY and the Journey.

When it’s your turn, hold the button and say a word. Every mode changes the rule of the turn: start with a given letter, go on from the last letter, fit a chunk inside your word and more. By default everyone has 3 lives and 2 passes; in PLAY TOGETHER you choose lives, passes and time in GAME SETTINGS, and you can change them during the game too.

In your first game, Bum walks you through a STARTER TOUR: holding the button, typing, lives and passes, step by step inside a real game. You can replay it any time from Menu → Starter tour. The “?” button on every mode in the mode picker explains its rules with an example.

Yes. Downloading and playing Bum is free: 5 classic modes, the Random wheel, the Daily Game, QUICK PLAY and the Journey are always free. On iPhone, the optional Bum Pro subscription unlocks 14 competitive modes such as Bomb, Rhyme and Missing Letter, themes, sound packs and the royal characters; one Pro mode is open to everyone each week and another each day. To keep Bum free on iPhone, a short ad appears now and then between games; Bum Pro has no ads, and a one-time No Ads purchase removes them. No sign-up needed: an anonymous player account is created automatically for your progress backup.

Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription: on iPhone, manage or cancel it in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

2–4 people on one phone: put the phone in the middle of the table and everyone holds the button in their own corner. To play solo, just tap QUICK PLAY: Bum rivals line up from Rookie to Legend.

QUICK PLAY starts a game without asking anything. Beat your rival to climb a step on the ladder; lose and you get a rematch. Whoever beats the one at the top becomes the champion. The Journey (Profile → MY JOURNEY) has 100 levels across 10 regions: pass levels, collect stars and face a master at the end of every region. And there’s a new Daily Game every day.

There are 19 modes: Word, Word Chain, Name Chain, City Chain, Category, Bomb, Last Two, Rhyme, Letter Pool, Banned Letter, Climb, Double Letters, A to Z, Speed, Chess Clock, Missing Letter, Bum’s Secret, Buzz In and Mix. In Random, the wheel picks the mode.

Yes. With TYPE you play on the game’s own letter keyboard. Typos don’t cost a life.

Yes. Party games on one phone, QUICK PLAY and the Daily Game work without the internet. On some phones speech recognition needs the internet; then you can play with TYPE.

Bum only listens while you hold the button; your voice isn’t sent to other players or to Bum’s server, and Bum doesn’t store it. Your phone’s speech recognition service turns the word you say into text: on the phone when possible, otherwise over the internet through Apple’s service on iPhone or your phone’s speech service on Android. Details are in the privacy policy.

Bum’s English dictionary has more than 60,000 words, names and places, plus 40 categories. Made-up words don’t count; you can check whether a word counts on the game’s dictionary screen.

A daily challenge with the same 10 rules and 90 seconds for everyone. Keep your streak and share your result with family and friends.

Online matches are coming soon to the English version. Today you can play with 2–4 people on one phone, solo with QUICK PLAY and the Journey, and the Daily Game.

Yes. Bum was born in Turkish: switch the language any time in Profile → gear (SETTINGS) → Language. Phones in Turkey get Turkish by default.

Bum is for iPhone (iOS) and Android phones. The Android version arrives on Google Play on Thursday, 12 November 2026. App Store and Google Play links will appear on this page once they are published.
