Question 1

Is the word scramble the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each day has one set of five scrambled words, the same for every player, changing at midnight in your time zone. Times are comparable and the share card doesn't spoil the words.

Question 2

What if I find a different word with the same letters?

Accepted Answer

It counts. Any real English word that uses every letter is accepted, checked against our word list. A hint, though, always points towards the word we picked.

Question 3

How hard is it?

Accepted Answer

The words are everyday ones and get longer as you go: one of four letters, two of five, one of six and one of seven. Most people finish in a few minutes; the seven-letter word is the real test.

Question 4

How do hints work?

Accepted Answer

A hint puts the next correct letter in place and fixes it there. Your first hint each day is free, and while Suvi is new more are on us, with no ad to watch. The share card shows which words needed one.

Question 5

Can I play more than one a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After today's five you can play a couple of practice sets, and while Suvi is new every past day's scramble is open in the archive too.

Question 6

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Today's Word Scramble is free with no account and no download; it runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
