Question 1

How does scoring work?

Accepted Answer

Three-letter words score 1 point, four letters score 3, five score 6, six score 10, and seven or more score 15 and up. The curve is steep on purpose - hunting for one long word usually beats racking up short ones.

Question 2

Are all seven letters guaranteed to make a word?

Accepted Answer

Every rack is built around a real common word, so there is always at least one long answer hiding in the letters. Random letter piles often contain nothing worth finding, which is why the game does not use them.

Question 3

Which words count?

Accepted Answer

Any word in the English dictionary of three letters or more that can be built from your rack, using each letter no more times than it appears.

Question 4

Can I replay the same letters?

Accepted Answer

Start a new round at any time for a fresh rack. When the timer stops you can reveal every word the rack contained.
