Learn the rules of Word Scramble

Open Word Scramble, check the instructions and begin a round. Enter the intended word using every shown letter. Correct answers finish the round and add to your session total. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Something to practise

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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The objective of a round

Work through the instructions

  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.
