Rulli (Cruciverba Lab)

About Rulli (Cruciverba Lab)

Rulli, meaning reels, is one of the daily games on Cruciverba Lab, an Italian site of free puzzles. The board has five columns of letters, one per reel, and a highlighted row across the middle.

Each day brings a new board and a counter showing how many words it hides, between 6 and 10. The list is made of common Italian words that those five columns can form, not rare ones. Turning a reel changes one letter of the highlighted row, and whenever the row reads as a real word the board picks it up by itself. Words on the day's list raise the counter; other genuine words are accepted but score nothing. You can also type, with each letter turning the current reel and moving to the next.

The day's board can be played without an account. A free account adds hints, which mark a missing word as found but give no leaderboard points, and the daily leaderboard. Past boards can be replayed from the collection, the most recent with a free account and all of them with Premium.

It suits Italian speakers and learners who like anagram and letter-slot puzzles.

How to play Rulli (Cruciverba Lab)

1. Open Rulli to load today's five reels and the count of words to find.
2. Spin a reel to change one letter of the highlighted row.
3. Stop when the row spells an Italian word; the board records it automatically.
4. Keep turning reels until every word on the day's list is found.
5. Sign in if you want hints or a place on the daily leaderboard.

Tips

• Change one reel at a time and read the row after each turn.
• Typing a word you suspect is faster than spinning reel by reel on a keyboard.
• Words outside the list still count as found but earn no points, so focus on common words.
