How To Play

• Use the tiles to form words (four letters minimum) - the rarer the words, the higher your score!
• Tiles are generated randomly, with letters appearing with the same frequency as they do in the English language. So, letters like ‘E’ and ‘T’ will appear more frequently than ‘Z’ or ‘Q’.
• We check whether words are valid using the Free Dictionary API, which relies on Wiktionary.
• Scores are assigned based on a word’s rarity: a word that is rarer than 99% of words will get a score of 100. An extremely common word such as ‘that’ will get 0. Word rarity is based on how frequently a word appears in a large corpus of books collected by Google - it’s the same one used in Google Ngrams.
• When you have formed a word, tap ‘Submit Word’ - if you'd like to rescind a word, click the 'x' to return the letters to the grid. Please note you cannot use the same word more than once.
• After you’ve submitted as many words as you can, leave the word box empty and hit ‘Submit Score’. If you manage to use all 20 tiles then you will be awarded an additional 10% points bonus!
• Share your daily score with friends and family by hitting the 'Share' button at the bottom of the stats page.

Like with Wordle, you get one set of tiles per day; however, you can practice without affecting your stats here.
