Scraps

About Scraps

Scraps is a small daily word game about spending letters wisely. At the start you have 30 tiles, split into vowels and consonants, with a number on each showing how many of that letter you hold. The top of the screen shows a four-letter pattern in which some squares are already filled; you tap tiles into the empty squares to make a real word and press Submit.

Each word uses up the tiles you placed, and a new pattern appears. The patterns are fixed for the day and there are up to fifteen of them, so the game is about choosing words that leave you with useful letters for later: spending your only Y early, or all your vowels on one pattern, can end the run. When you are stuck, Give Up ends it, and your word count is shown against the global top score, the global average and a distribution of everyone's results.

The game is independent and ad-free, with a link to support its developer on Ko-fi. You can copy your results or the list of words you found and review the board afterwards.

How to play Scraps

1. Open letterscraps.com to see the first four-letter pattern and your 30 tiles.
2. Tap tiles into the empty squares to make a valid four-letter word with the fixed letters.
3. Press Submit: the tiles you used are spent and the next pattern appears.
4. Keep going, choosing words that save the letters you will need later.
5. When no word can be made, or you press Give Up, compare your word count with the global top and average.

Tips

• Watch the small counts on each tile: a letter with one copy left is worth saving.
• Prefer common consonants like S, T and N over rare ones you may need for a hard pattern.
• Use vowels sparingly early; patterns with blanks in vowel spots will need them.
• Copy the word list afterwards to see where your run went wrong.
