How to play
Object: Interweave words to create a mini crossword grid, aiming for
the highest score from letter values.
- Fill the empty squares with your own 3, 4, 5, or 6 letter words.
- All words must cross at least one other word.
- Duplicate words are not allowed.
-
A doubled consonant (adjacent identical letters, e.g. ZZ in FUZZY,
not the non-adjacent D's in AIDED) scores as one letter unless both
are intersected.
A new word each day. Use the whole day to get your best score.
Bonus word: a second word is named below the keyboard each game. Weave
it into your grid and every one of its letters scores double.
Double tap a word for its definition, or your scores to preview the
next achievement badge.
Validation messages
When the Words and Score cards show an asterisk instead of a number, the message
underneath them is the problem to fix first:
-
Invalid word: not a real dictionary word, the wrong length, or a
single unconnected letter.
- Duplicate word: already used elsewhere on the grid.
-
Fragmented game: valid and unique, but not connected back to the
starter word - blocks saving/sharing until it connects.
Info
- One square is permanently blocked and can't be filled.
-
Easy mode (in Settings) shades every empty square no word can reach -
either because of the shape of the grid, or because nothing in the dictionary fits.
