    HOW TO PLAY

    A few words to get started.

    01 Build your corner

    You can replace while building a word. Placed letters stay put.

    03 Pick up a powerup

    Play onto a collectible square to claim it.

    • WildcardChoose any letter. Worth 0 points.

    Store 3 powerups. A fourth lets you choose which to replace.

    04 Capture a rival’s words

    Always connect your new word to your own tiles.

    CAT+S→CATS

    Extend it: prepend or append to take the whole word.

    Cross it: if it meets it, it beats it. Match or beat the enemy word’s value to take its shared letter.

    Cross any neutral word to claim it, whatever its value. Broken words turn grey unless another intact word protects their letters.

    Create a private game

    Continue off the right edge onto the left, or off the bottom onto the top. Words and visibility wrap too.

    Play new letters over letters you own. All affected words must stay valid. Replaced letters are removed and your hand refills.

    Time to restore one Replace. Store up to three charges.

    Play a word of this length or longer to restore 1 Replace, up to 3 stored. Awarded once per move. The full-refill rule takes priority when both apply.

    A word longer than this many letters refills all 3 Replaces. With 8, words of 9 or more letters qualify. Includes existing letters in the word.

    Accept recognised names, places and holidays, including Eid, Christmas and Japan. Islands and Magic Words keep using common words.

    After 3 consecutive invalid words, Submit locks for 5 seconds. Each further invalid word locks it again until you play a valid word.

    Keep ownership and points for every intact piece after a takeover. When disabled, only your highest-scoring piece stays yours. Broken words still turn grey.

    Win conditions

    Boost longer words. The highest matching minimum applies to each word; shared letters receive both words’ multipliers.

    Complete an unbroken horizontal or vertical loop through connected words.

    Shared targets grow from the minimum to maximum length as words are completed. Between-length rounds sample both adjacent lengths. Each completion counts for the player who plays it.

    Stars are visible to everyone, even in fog. Play onto one to collect it. Uncollected stars move automatically.

    The first completed condition starts a final countdown. Claim a different condition before time runs out to enter sudden death; whoever claims the third distinct condition wins. Stealing a qualifying word or breaking a loop can undo a condition and cancel Last Chance. Requires at least 3 enabled conditions.

    The first player to complete any enabled win condition wins.

    Players choose a name and colour and are ready when they return to the lobby. The host can start at any time. The full board is revealed when the round ends. The host can also end the round at any time. Private boards do not reset daily.
