Lexie the green blob at home, with a daily challenge button, a practice button and today's hunt: find something black

A drill on the Lock Screen

On iOS 27, Lexie can run a round of numbers and verbs from the Lock Screen. You answer there, the round is scored, and it ends by itself. A switch in Settings turns it off.

Widgets

The Home Screen has a mood widget with the blob and a progress ring. The Lock Screen has small widgets for your status and streak, and one for a word you are close to forgetting.

Spotlight and Siri

The words in your dictionary show up in Spotlight, and you can ask Siri about them.

Home

The same blob, one tap away

Tap a widget and you land on the home screen, with the daily challenge and today's hunt.

What the ring is counting

Accuracy, streak and progress by category sit in the app's Progress screen.

Progress: today's accuracy and streak, progress by category for numbers and verbs, and seasonal events

Questions

Which iPhones get the Lock Screen drill?

It needs iOS 27. The widgets, Spotlight and Siri work on earlier versions too.
