HOW TO PLAY

Connect letters. Find words.
Discover what everybody else missed.

The basic rules stay simple. The modes, feedback and progress systems let you decide how deep to go.

THE RULES

Build words across the grid

01

Start anywhere

Choose any letter on the 4×4 grid.

02

Move to a neighbour

Travel horizontally, vertically or diagonally to an adjacent tile.

03

Do not reuse a tile

Each grid position can appear only once in a word, even when a letter repeats.

04

Submit and score

Valid words score by length. A Qu tile counts as two characters and can behave as Q or Qu.

FEEDBACK, HELP AND PROGRESS

The grid tells you more as you play

Definitions

Select a found word to learn what it means rather than treating the word list as an unexplained verdict.

Hints

As completion rises, hints unlock and progressively reveal the shape, first letter and definition of stubborn words.

Dead letters

Tiles fade and ghost when they no longer contribute to any unfound word path.

Path guidance

Alternative routes, valid next positions and letter-score bubbles explain how each selection contributes.

Medals and titles

Complete strong boards to earn medals, rankings, titles, prestige and eventually a peerage.

Backup and sharing

Full app editions can back up progress, restore it elsewhere and share grids with other players.
