Clear the board in seven moves

Join touching letters to form a word of three or more letters. Tiles used in a valid word disappear. The remaining tiles fall down in their own columns. No replacement letters are added.

You have seven valid-word moves to remove all 25 tiles. An invalid attempt uses no move. A word may be used again if the new board still contains it.

A board with a known solution

The starting board is built from five five-letter words. Clearing complete rows from the bottom upwards is one five-move solution. Other paths are allowed, but taking part of a row can leave isolated letters. A solvable starting board does not mean every sequence of moves will succeed.

Plan around gravity

A five-letter word scores 25 points; a three-letter word scores 9. Points use length squared. Winning depends on clearing every tile before the moves run out, rather than reaching a points target.

  • Inspect the letters that will land beside each other after a move.
  • Use Hint path to highlight a valid word. It may not lead to a complete solution.
  • Replay the same board to test a different order.
