Game rules & how to play

Objective

  • Everyone races on the same 4×4 letter grid.
  • Find as many valid words as you can before the timer runs out.
  • The player with the highest score wins.

How it works

  • Tap or drag across adjacent letters (including diagonals) to spell a word.
  • Each letter can only be used once per word.
  • Words must be at least 3 letters and appear in the dictionary.
  • Submit each word once — duplicates do not score again.

Scoring

  • 3 letters = 100 points.
  • 4 letters = 400 points.
  • 5 letters = 800 points.
  • Longer words score even more (6+ letters add 400 pts per extra letter).

Game end

  • The game ends when the host taps “End game” or the timer hits zero.
  • After time is up, no new words can be submitted.
  • Play again generates a fresh letter grid for the next round.
