Word Wheel

Make as many words as you can from nine letters on a wheel. Every word must use the centre letter. A new wheel every day and a ranking to climb.

How to play

  1. Nine letters sit on a wheel. Tap them or type to spell a word of four or more letters.
  2. Every word must contain the centre letter. You can use each letter as many times as it appears on the wheel.
  3. Press Submit or Enter to add the word. Longer words score more, and a word using all nine letters earns a big bonus.
  4. Climb the ranks from Seedling to Wheel Master. Tap Finish when you're done to see the words you missed.

Tips and strategy

  • Start with short words and plurals to warm up, then look for endings like -ING, -ED and -ER.
  • Use Shuffle to rearrange the outer letters. A fresh view often reveals a word you missed.
  • One word on every wheel uses eight letters. Look for a long word that fits the centre letter.
  • Rare words from the larger list still count and are marked as bonus words.

FAQ

Do I have to use every letter?
No. You only have to use the centre letter. Words that use all nine letters are rare and earn a big bonus.
Can I use a letter twice?
Only if it appears twice on the wheel. Otherwise each letter can be used once per word.
Are plurals allowed?
Yes, as long as the word is in the word list. Proper names and abbreviations are not.
