A daily word hunt where rude words score more, and shutting the Duo censors it
Does Word Vice work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, and seen in iPhone Duo simulator captures: it plays on the cover and propped like a laptop, and snapping it shut mid-game stars out every rude word.
- Simulator verifiedAlan Brooks, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 27, 2026, and on the Word Vice website, with captures from the iPhone Duo simulator. The App Store seller is Alan Brooks. The App Store description says Word Vice plays across both screens of an iPhone Duo.
Adapted for the fold
- Book · Partly folded
Score up top, board below
Propped like a laptop, the score and the words you've found sit on the upright half and the board on the half lying flat; opened like a book, play spreads across both halves with nothing on the fold.
- Closed · Outer display
The panic fold
Snap it shut mid-game and every rude word is starred out, the devil puts on a halo, and play carries on on the cover. In a timed round the clock stops until you open it again.
About Word Vice
Word Vice is a daily word hunt by Alan Brooks in which the rude words score more. Swipe letters on the board to find words; the vice words are worth extra and go in a jar. It started, Alan writes, on a car trip, with a word in the grid that made everyone blush. There’s an untimed tap-to-spell mode for VoiceOver, no ads, accounts or tracking, and iCloud keeps your streak.
On iPhone Duo it plays shut, open or propped like a laptop, with nothing on the fold. Snap it shut mid-game and the panic fold kicks in: the rude words are starred out, the devil gets a halo, and the game carries on on the cover. Its gentler sibling is Word Nice.

Checked the two Duo captures on the website, with the 9:41 status ring: the cover, with its camera hole and the buttons in the bar down the side, showing board #13 with a word swiped across it and the found words below; and the phone propped like a laptop, in the simulator's bent frame, with the score and found words on the upright half and the board beside a jar of bad words on the flat half.
