There are two ways to get Wordle LOTR running on your device. The quickest path is to download the pre-built APK and sideload it onto any Android device — no developer tools required. If you want to run the app on iOS, experiment with the code, or contribute to the project, you can clone the repository and build it locally using Expo and Node.js.

Install via APK

1

Download the APK

Download the latest Wordle LOTR APK from Google Drive:Download Wordle LOTR APK →Once the file has downloaded, open it from your notifications bar or your device’s Downloads folder to launch the installer.
2

Handle the security prompt

Android may display a security warning because the APK comes from outside the Play Store. You have two options:
  • Skip the scan: Tap More details, then select Install without scanning to proceed immediately.
  • Allow Android to scan: Tap the scan option and wait a few minutes while Google Play Protect checks the file. The installation will continue once the scan completes.
Either path leads to the same result — a fully installed app on your device.
3

Open the app

When the installation finishes, tap Open to launch Wordle LOTR straight away. You can also find it in your app drawer like any other installed app.
The pre-built APK targets Android only. iOS does not support sideloading outside of TestFlight or the App Store, so iPhone and iPad users must build the app from source using the steps below.

Build from Source

1

Install prerequisites

Make sure the following tools are installed on your machine before continuing:No global Expo CLI installation is needed. All Expo commands are invoked via npx expo, which is included when you install the project dependencies.
2

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/PixelGenetics/Wordle-LOTR-RN.git && cd Wordle-LOTR-RN
3

Install dependencies

npm install
4

Build and run on Android

A connected Android device or a running Android Studio emulator is required. Make sure Android Studio and the Android SDK are installed, then run:
npx expo run:android
Expo will compile the native Android project and deploy it to your device or emulator automatically.
5

Build and run on iOS

iOS builds require macOS with Xcode installed. On a Mac, run:
npx expo run:ios
Expo will open the iOS Simulator and launch the app once the build completes.
You don’t need a full native build to try out the app. Run npx expo start to launch the Metro bundler, then scan the QR code with the Expo Go app on your phone (available on the App Store and Google Play) to load Wordle LOTR instantly over your local network — no Android Studio or Xcode required.
