How to play Word Scramble

The letters of a word are mixed up. Type the real word.

Goal

Unscramble the letters to reveal the hidden word.

A word appears with its letters shuffled, along with a clue.
Type the word into the answer box and press Enter or Check.
Difficulty depends on word length: Easy up to 5 letters, Medium 6–7, Hard 8–9 and Expert 10 or more.
On Expert, each word has a 15-second countdown.

"TAC" with the clue "a pet that purrs" is CAT.

Keys	What it does
`A–Z`	Type your answer in the box
`Enter`	Check the word

Read the clue first to narrow it down.
Look for common endings such as -ING, -TION and -ED, and common pairs such as TH, CH and QU.
Words you miss come up more often, so you can practise them.

Every correct answer is worth 100 points, scaled by difficulty (Easy ×0.8, Medium ×1, Hard ×1.3, Expert ×1.6).
Answering within 3 seconds adds a 25-point speed bonus.
Each answer in a row adds a 15-point streak bonus, up to 10 in a row.
Using a hint halves the points for that answer and skips the bonuses. Hints are only available on Easy and Medium.
Your score, streak and achievements are saved to your account when the game ends.
