How to Play

  • Enter valid words in the columns of the board without repeating letters in the same position as other columns. Rows do not need to be valid words.
  • Win by turning the entire board green and maximizing your score.
  • A new puzzle is released every day at midnight.

Scoring

Each letter is given a score value. When combined to form a word, the score of each letter is added up and added to your total score.
This rule also applies to rows, though building words in the rows of the grid is optional and only counts toward your total score.
The letters have the following point values:

  • A - 1
  • B - 3
  • C - 3
  • D - 2
  • E - 1
  • F - 4
  • G - 2
  • H - 4
  • I - 1
  • J - 8
  • K - 5
  • L - 1
  • M - 3
  • N - 1
  • O - 1
  • P - 3
  • Q - 10
  • R - 1
  • S - 1
  • T - 1
  • U - 1
  • V - 4
  • W - 4
  • X - 8
  • Y - 4
  • Z - 10

Multipliers

Building words in the rows of the grid with three or more characters increases your score multiplier by 1 for each valid row word. If a row contains a valid word, then each letter will contain a green halo.
