Toppled

About Toppled

Toppled gives you a wall of twenty letters arranged in four rows. Your job is to use them up in four valid five-letter words, and when the four are in place the wall topples. You tap letters to spell a word and submit it, or use the pencil to try a word as a draft before committing. A counter shows how many possible words remain; if the letters turn red, the words you have used leave no way to finish, and you tap a word twice to take it back.

The scoring comes from golden words. Each wall hides four of them, and their first letters are shown in gold. Finding them is optional but worth more points. Every third word you submit unlocks a clue that reveals the next letter of a golden word, and a word shown in purple is an anagram of one. There is a Shuffle Wall button to see the letters in a new order.

The walls are numbered, with #970 on 5 October 2026, and there is an archive of past games and a stats page. A tutorial game walks new players through the rules. The site is free with ads and offers a paid option to remove them. Toppled is on bythomas.co.uk beside its other daily word games, Blunderwall and Vowel Play.

Tips

• Draft words with the pencil first: it is easier to see which letters are left before you commit.
• Start from the gold letters, since golden words score more.
• Watch the possible words remaining count; if it drops fast, your last word used too many rare letters.
• A purple word is an anagram of a golden word, so rearrange it to find the real one.
