Word Scramble tips for your next round
- Start with the clue, then check that your guess uses the displayed letters.
- Shuffle the letters for a new arrangement when the current order is distracting; shuffling is free.
- Use a first-letter hint if needed. Incorrect guesses do not subtract points, and there is no countdown.
Can I skip a word that I cannot solve?
Yes. Skip reveals the answer and continues the round, but the word does not count as correct. You still need three correct words at early levels or four at the final two levels.
