Your turn

  1. 1Pick a letter from your tray.
  2. 2Tap any board square to replace its letter. Same-letter swaps allowed.
  3. 3Submit. Every letter you placed must be part of a new valid word.

Making words

Words read across, down, or diagonally. New words turn your color, even letters that were already on the board.

TURF

Defend your turf

Surround a tile with your color on every side and it locks for the next turn with a white ring. Keep it surrounded and it stays locked, preventing other players from placing new letters on it.

Valid words

A valid word is in the game dictionary, has 3+ letters, and hasn't been played in a previous turn by any player. Multiple copies of a word can play in the same turn.

Not sure? Check Word tells you if a word is in the dictionary and whether it's been played this game.

Good to know

Pass & swap trades your whole tray for a fresh one. But you forfeit that turn and if every player passes in a row, the game ends.

Timers are optional: a chess clock per player, or a per-turn countdown.

Pause hides the letters and shows stats.

Computer seats each have their own difficulty, from Easy to Ultra++ or pick "?" for a hidden surprise level.

Quit this game?

Pass & swap?

You'll give up this turn and trade all your letters for a fresh tray.

Careful: if every player passes in a row, the game ends.

Word check

Type a word to see if the dictionary knows it.
