Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Practice with a purpose

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Enter the intended word using every shown letter. Correct answers finish the round and add to your session total. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

The order of play

  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.
  4. Choose New word to move to another clue.

How to interact with the game

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

Follow the example

The letters of GARDEN can be rearranged; the clue “A place where plants grow” identifies GARDEN. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

A different anagram may be a valid word but still not match this clue. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
