Rules & Scoring
Game Rules
- 1You must use all the scrambled letters to form the exact hidden word
- 2Each scrambled letter tile can only be used once per word
- 3The game starts at Level 1 with 3-letter words and advances every 3 correct answers
- 4Levels range from 1 (3-letter words) to 6 (8-10 letter words)
- 5Solving a word correctly adds 10 seconds of bonus time, up to a maximum of 120 seconds
- 6You get 3 hints per game that reveal the next letter, but each costs 5 points
- 7An incorrect submission resets your streak counter to zero
Scoring System
Each word is worth (word length x 10) + (current level x 5) points. A streak bonus of +10 points is awarded for every 3 consecutive correct answers. Using a hint deducts 5 points. The game ends when the 60-second timer reaches zero.
Tips & Strategies
Beginner
- Start by looking for common letter patterns like TH, SH, CH, ING, or TION in the scrambled tiles
- Use the Shuffle button if you are stuck - rearranging the letters can reveal the word instantly
- Focus on getting the first and last letters right since your brain naturally fills in the middle
- Do not waste time on a single word - use a hint if you are stuck for more than 10 seconds
Advanced
- Build a solving streak of 3+ to earn bonus points on top of the base word score
- Save your hints for the longer Level 5-6 words where they provide the most value
- Try to mentally group consonants and vowels separately to spot word shapes faster
- Each correct word adds 10 seconds, so speed on easy words banks time for harder ones
- Notice that levels advance every 3 words - plan your pace around that progression
Pro
- Aim to solve Level 1-3 words in under 5 seconds each to stockpile maximum bonus time
- Maintain a long streak since the streak bonus compounds significantly over many consecutive solves
- At higher levels, look for common word roots like MENT, NESS, ABLE, and TION to decode 8-10 letter words quickly
- Minimize hint usage entirely to avoid the 5-point penalty and maximize your final score
