About Alphabet Catch

A gentle catching game for the youngest players. Letters or numbers drift down the screen and a friendly monster with a wide-open mouth waits below. Drag your finger and it glides over to catch the one you hear and see in the prompt card. Catch the wrong one and it just bounces away with a soft boop — there are no lives, no timers and no game over. Letters come in small groups of five, numbers in groups of three to ten with matching dots, and every few rounds an older letter comes back for a quick review.

Alphabet Catch is one of our free words & letters games for kids — play it right here in your browser, or browse all our free online games.

Tips & Tricks
