Anagram Rush

Unscramble as many words as you can in 60 seconds. Words start short and get longer. A new word set every day.

How to play

  1. Press Start. You get 60 seconds and a scrambled word is shown as letter tiles.
  2. Type the word. As soon as you enter a valid word made from the same letters, it scores and the next scramble appears.
  3. Each word scores one point per letter. The words begin at four letters and grow to seven as you go.
  4. Shuffle rearranges the tiles to help you see the word, and Pass skips a word you cannot solve.

Tips and strategy

  • Look for common endings first, such as ING, ED, ER and LY, then rebuild the front.
  • Do not spend more than a few seconds on one word. A quick Pass is worth more than being stuck.
  • Any real word that uses exactly the same letters is accepted, not just the one the puzzle started from.
  • Say the letters out loud in your head in different orders. Hearing a word often helps when seeing it does not.

FAQ

What if the scramble has two valid answers?
Either one counts. The game checks that your word uses exactly the scrambled letters and is in the dictionary.
Do skipped words cost points?
No. Passing is free, but the clock keeps running, so a fast skip is usually the smart choice.
Is the daily word set the same for everyone?
Yes. The words and their scrambles come from the UTC date, so everyone plays the same set until 00:00 UTC.
