Egg Hatch

Tap the letters in order to sound out each word and crack open the egg to reveal what is inside.

How to play

A picture peeks out of the egg as your clue. Tap the word's letters in the correct order to sound it out; getting them right cracks the egg and hatches the creature. A small budget of peeks can briefly reveal part of the answer when you are stuck. Hatch every word to finish the round.

• Use the picture clue to guess the hidden word.
• Tap letters in sequence to spell and sound it out.
• Spend a peek to reveal a fraction of the word if needed.
• Hatch all the words to complete the round.

Controls

Tips & strategy

• Blend the sounds aloud as you tap rather than naming letters one by one.
• Save peeks for genuinely tricky spellings to protect your score.
• Use the picture first — it usually narrows the word to one obvious answer.
