How To Play

Each scrambled word only has a single solution (anagram).

  1. Try to guess the word by clicking on the letters to assemble them in the right order, or by typing out the word. You can also use the scramble button to reposition the letters.
  2. Click on the letters to undo, or click on the "Clear" button, or press the Escape key. Clicking on the first letter will also clear the board.
  3. There is a time limit, and you lose a few seconds every time the scramble button is used.
  4. When you manage to unscramble a word, you earn points depending how much time is left, with a bonus multiplier for the harder difficulty levels.
  5. You can give up after 30 seconds.
  6. A link is provided to view the meaning of the word at the end of the round.

Number of words in database: 900+; Shortest word: 5 letters; Longest word: 11 letters.
