— The basics

What is Word Scramble?

Word Scramble shows you the letters of a word in random order. Your job is to rearrange them — by tap, drag or type — into the original word. Solve as many as you can within the round. Each solved scramble pushes you to a slightly harder one.

Word Scramble is one of those quietly useful word games that genuinely improves your vocabulary. Every solved word strengthens the mental link between the letter pattern and the meaning. Within a week of daily play you notice yourself spotting words faster in normal reading — a real-life carry-over that few browser games offer.
