How to play Word Hunt
Tap Start to reveal the board and begin the 80-second timer. Press and drag across neighboring tiles — up, down, sideways, or diagonally — to spell a word of three or more letters, never reusing a tile. Release to submit; valid new words add to your score, and longer words are worth far more. When the timer hits zero you'll see your score and the words you missed. New to the game? Read the full how to play guide.
Since the daily board only comes around once, it's worth building your scoring habits between rounds rather than during them: extending short finds into longer words, working outward from vowel clusters, and sweeping the grid in a consistent pattern instead of tapping at random. Our strategy guide breaks each of those down, and the numbered puzzle library gives you a board to drill them on without waiting for tomorrow.
