Trace words in the letter grid before they run out.

About Word Rush

A fast word-hunting puzzle. Drag across touching letters to spell words; valid ones clear from the grid and the letters above drop down to refill. Clear enough tiles to hit the level target, then do it again with a tougher goal. Quick thinking and a sharp eye for hidden words are everything. Free to play in your browser — no download, no sign-up.

How to Play

Drag across adjacent letters (any direction) to trace a word of 3+ letters. Valid words clear; letters above fall to fill the gaps. Clear the target number of tiles to advance to the next level.

Tips & Strategy

Longer words score exponentially more AND clear more tiles -- always look for a 5+ letter word before settling for a three.

Scan for common endings already sitting in the grid: -ED, -ING, -ER. Then look backwards for a stem that connects.

Clearing from the bottom drops fresh letters into play and often reveals new words up top.

Don't tunnel on one corner. Sweep the whole grid each refill -- the best word is rarely where you were just looking.
