Word Scramble

Solve every scrambled word by matching its clue.

How to play

  1. For each clue, rearrange all its displayed letters into one word. Use every letter exactly once, including any repeated letters.
  2. Type the answer into that clue’s Unscrambled word field, then use Check or press Enter. Shuffle rearranges only the displayed letters; Clear empties that clue’s input.
  3. The answer must fit both the letters and the clue. A different anagram can use all the right letters and still be the wrong answer.
  4. A correct answer is revealed with a check mark and earns 200 points. There is no guess limit; keep trying unsolved clues until every answer is correct.

Head-to-head rules

Unscramble all five words before your opponent. Both players get the same puzzle and start together, with 3 minutes to finish. Completion time decides the match; fewer moves or a higher solo score do not beat an earlier correct finish. Finishes within 0.1 seconds draw. If neither player finishes before time runs out, the match is a draw.

Your moves and answers stay private. Leaving through the game controls forfeits the match; closing the page does not pause its clock.

Real-player matches update this game's own Elo rating. Daily and practice results keep their separate progress and never change Elo.
