How to Play

Tap letters to spell a word of 3+ letters, then Enter. Find as many of the round's hidden words as you can. Find them all to sweep the round for a bonus and move on. Shuffle the tiles any time.

Tips & Strategy

Find the six-letter word that uses every tile -- it's the anchor, and its letters spell most of the shorter words too.

Work in families: find one word, then add or change a single letter (CARE to CARES to SCARE to RACES).

Shuffle the tiles when you're stuck -- seeing the letters in a new order jogs loose the words your eye had fixed.

Don't skip the three-letter words. They're easy points and often reveal a longer word hiding inside them.
