Scramble

About Scramble

Scramble is a daily word-finding game that borrows from two familiar sources: the letter grid of Boggle and the coloured feedback of Wordle. The board is a grid of five-letter rows, and each tile is green, yellow or grey. The daily board is generated from the date, so everyone playing that day sees the same one.

A guess counts if it passes three checks: it is a real English word, it uses only letters that appear somewhere in the grid, and it is consistent with the colours of at least one row, read the way Wordle feedback is read (green letters in that spot, yellow letters in the word but elsewhere, grey letters left out). A counter beside each row shows how many words you have found for it.

You get ten minutes on the clock. At the end the game totals your points, and the share button gives a grid of coloured squares with your word count per row. Stats track your daily streak, games played and high score separately from Unlimited mode, where you can play as many random boards as you like.

Scramble suits Wordle players who want a longer, more open-ended session, and Boggle fans who like a twist on the rules. It runs in the browser with no account.

How to play Scramble

1. Open the Daily Puzzle and press Start Game to begin the ten-minute clock.
2. Pick a row and read its colours: green letters must sit in that spot, yellow letters must be in the word elsewhere, grey letters must be left out.
3. Type a real English word made only of letters found in the grid and press enter.
4. Keep entering words for any row until the timer ends.
5. Check your score per row and share the result.

Tips

• Rows with several greens are the most constrained, so a few quick words there can be easy points.
• Spread your guesses across rows rather than working one row dry.
• Use Unlimited mode to get used to reading the colour rules before the daily clock starts.
