Why subscribe?

Why subscribe? The obvious reason is that your free trial ran out, and you've enjoyed the site enough to want to keep playing. But there's much more than that!

• Ability to take on the computer opponents (bots), each with their own quirks and skill levels. Now you can play at any time of day and without any of that troublesome "human interaction" business.
• Enter into our Daily Duel! Every day, there's a new Duel to take on, with a variety of interesting formats, and running high scores. The Daily Duel is open to everyone at weekends, so try it and see if you like it. If two a week can't quench your thirst, subscribing will give you access to the Duel every day of the week. This is vital if you want to top the leader board!
• Access to Classic Games -- play along to hundreds of real games from the show as if you were a contestant in them.
• Access to the full Lexplorer; more than just a word checker, Lexplorer can show you anagrams, prefixes and suffixes, stems, and search the whole history of Apterous for uses of a given word. A powerful addition to any player's learning.
• Access to Statland, incredibly detailed stats about the Apterous, including lists of the most common words (and the most common misses!) - another crucial learning tool.
• Access to Head to Head, showing the history of match-ups between any two players. Identify your weaknesses and your nemeses!
• Direct from Gimmick Central: give yourself a custom picture! Tired of looking like the old Facebook logo? You can have your ugly mug, or someone else's, appear in the game itself. Impress friends and relatives alike.
• No more pesky adverts! Subscribers are clearly much too refined to buy the sort of junk that Google Ads peddle, so the site won't bother showing them to you.

Plus, of course, you gain eternal Complainer's Rights, so I have to take your bug reports seriously. You'll also get all the new bonus stuff as that rolls out, and I take regular suggestions for new features from the player base.

Just £15 gets you all of the above for a year! Even better, if you've been recommended to the site by a friend, or have recommended another subscriber, you get a 20% discount to just £12!

Okay, I'm sold! How do I sign up?

Probably the most convenient way to pay is by PayPal using the buttons below. That allows you to use most credit and debit cards, and guarantees a secure transaction. I'll process these as quickly as possible.

But there's more!

We've also launched our new service Superstats, showing incredibly in-depth information about individual players. This allows you to keep track of your progress as you improve, discover your weaknesses by listing words you miss frequently, and more. To add Superstats to your account costs just £5 a year and is available independently of your regular subscription.

I'm ready to part with some cash

Cool. You'll need to log in first, though.
