Word Hunt: how to play

Find as many words as you can in a grid of letters before time runs out.

Everyone gets the same grid. Trace words through letters that touch (across, down or diagonal), using each letter once per word. Tap letters in order or type the word, then Add.

Length Points
3–4 letters 1
5 2
6 3
7 5
8+ 11

Words are checked against an English dictionary. Your words stay secret until the end; then all words are shown. With unique words on (default), a word found by two or more players scores nothing. Options: 4×4 or 5×5, 2 to 4 minutes, shortest word 3 or 4 letters.
