Roll Solver

Roll Solver is a browser word game built around a roll of 12 letter tiles, shown on Hacker News in 2026 as a daily multiplayer word puzzle. It installs as a web app on phones as well as playing in a browser.

The puzzle is the same in every mode. You take the 12 letters and arrange them on a grid as one connected crossword, where every run of letters across and down must be a real word of three letters or more. Scoring rewards both coverage and tight building: a point for each letter in a valid word, two for each crossing where an across and a down word share a square, and a bonus of 12 for using every tile.

Daily Ranked gives every player the same roll, with a twist that changes from day to day, such as a 60-second blitz or a rule that you must use all 12 tiles or score zero. You keep a daily streak and see how friends did. Beside it sit Arena, where ten players get one roll and one shot, a timed Best Board mode and Word Claim, a duel where the first to cross a word owns it, plus an untimed practice mode that works offline.

It suits players who enjoy building words from a rack, as in Bananagrams or Scrabble, and want a short daily puzzle with a ranking.
