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.
-
J,X,Z are limited to two uses per
game by you. Q is limited to one.
Validation messages
When the Score display shows a message instead of a number, that's the problem to fix
first:
- Invalid word: not a real dictionary word, or the wrong length.
- Duplicate word: already used elsewhere on the grid.
-
Exceeds letter usage: a limited letter (J, Q, X, Z) placed too many
times.
-
Floating word: valid and unique, but doesn't cross another word yet -
this one doesn't block submitting, it just isn't scoring yet.
