How to play Word Scramble

Open Word Scramble, check the instructions and begin a round. Enter the intended word using every shown letter. Correct answers finish the round and add to your session total. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Enter the intended word using every shown letter. Correct answers finish the round and add to your session total. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

  1. Read the clue and the scrambled letters.
  2. Type a possible word in the answer field.
  3. Choose Check answer. An incorrect attempt allows another try.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A useful example

The letters of GARDEN can be rearranged; the clue “A place where plants grow” identifies GARDEN. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

A different anagram may be a valid word but still not match this clue. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
