Six letters, a changing target

Each of the five rounds gives you a new rack of six letters. Use each tile at most once per word. Words must have at least three letters. Reusing letters in a new word is allowed, but submitting the same word twice in one round is not.

The five targets are three words, a longest word, a word containing the marked letter, two words of at least four letters, and five words. The goal panel tells you which target is active.

Points and hints

A word scores its length squared. CAT scores 9; CATS scores 16. A hint gives the first letter and length of a missing answer. The result records each hint separately. There is no clock.

Work the letters in families

  • Shuffle when you keep seeing the same combination.
  • Look for endings such as S, ED or ER when those tiles are available.
  • On the longest-word round, count the tiles before trying a shorter answer.

After each round

Review shows the answers you missed. You can repeat that exact rack for practice or continue to the next goal. Repeating the rack starts a new attempt and replaces that round's score. Daily mode uses the same five racks for everyone on the same UTC date.
