Scramgram

Scramgram is a word jumble played against the clock. The day's puzzle gives you a row of scrambled letter tiles and 30 seconds. You tap letters to spell four-letter words, and each correct word adds three seconds to the timer, so a good run keeps itself alive. When time runs out, the round is over.

Words are graded as you find them. Common words earn a star; a rare word earns a diamond and a Rare Word Found message. At the end, a results card counts your words, stars and diamonds and how long you lasted, and can be sent to friends by text or chat. The daily puzzle is numbered, Scramgram #228 for example, and is the same for everyone, so tomorrow everyone starts again from the same letters.

Quick Play serves unlimited scrambles for practice. The app also includes an anagram solver that lists every word that can be made from a set of letters, and the website has a page of yesterday's answers. The game can be played free at scramgram.com with no account and no download.

Scramgram is made by Page Scholar Inc. The app first appeared on the App Store in 2020, and its site links a Google Play version too. The listing promises no energy timers and no pay-to-win. It suits players who find Wordle too slow and like a short burst of pressure.
