Worded

The daily word game

Worded is a free daily word puzzle. Every player gets the same 4x4 board and the same stream of incoming letters. Connect touching letters to make a word. The letters you use disappear, the remaining tiles fall, and fresh letters refill the gaps. If an incoming letter would make a third copy on the board, it waits in the stream while another letter enters first.

How to play

Swipe through four or more connecting letters in any direction, including diagonally. You cannot reuse a tile within one word or score the same word twice in a run. Each accepted word uses one of your 20 moves; an invalid attempt costs nothing. Each tile shows its point value, and a word scores the sum of the tiles you clear.

Common questions

Is Worded free?

Yes. The daily board, replays, and the leaderboard are all free to play. No account needed.

When does a new board arrive?

Every day. Everyone in the world plays the same board and the same letter queue.

Can duplicate letters pile up?

No. Worded allows two copies of a letter on the board. A queued third copy waits until there is room for it.

What counts as a word?

A word of four to sixteen letters made from touching tiles. Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal connections count, but a tile cannot be reused in one word.

How is the score calculated?

Add the point values printed on every letter tile in a cleared word. Less common letters are worth more. Ties are broken by longest word and then by recorded completion time.
