How to play

Word Scramble is a race against the clock. A jumbled word appears; you work out the real word and type it in. Get it right and you score points plus a small time bonus, then the next scramble loads automatically. The round ends when the timer reaches zero.

  1. Read the jumble. The shuffled letters appear as tiles at the top of the card.
  2. Type your answer. Enter the unscrambled word and press Submit or hit Enter.
  3. Score and repeat. Correct answers add points (longer words score more) and a few seconds; a new word loads right away.
  4. Skip if stuck. Tap Skip to move on — it costs time, not points.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you play Word Scramble?

A jumbled word appears on screen and you type the correctly spelled word before the timer runs out. Each correct answer adds points and a little time, and longer words are worth more. Keep solving to build the highest score you can in one round.

How is my score calculated?

You earn points equal to the length of each word you unscramble, so a seven-letter word scores more than a four-letter one. Solving quickly lets you fit more words into the round, which is the key to a big score.

Can I skip a word I am stuck on?

Yes. Use the Skip button to swap in a new word at any time. Skipping does not cost points, but it does use up clock time, so only skip when you are truly stuck.

Where do the words come from?

The words are drawn from a list of common English words, so everything you see is a real, familiar word. There are no obscure or trick entries — if you know your everyday vocabulary, you can solve them all.

Is the Word Scramble game free?

Completely free, with no account and no download. It runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, so you can play a quick round anywhere.

How is this different from the Word Scrambler tool?

This is a timed game you play for fun and score. The Word Scrambler tool, by contrast, is a utility that jumbles words you supply so you can build your own puzzles and worksheets.
