Totum is one of the handmade morning puzzles on Daily Worder. The day's board shows sixteen letters; you choose eight of them, and the game scores every word that can be made from your selection. The skill is in picking the eight that hold the most words.
About Totum (Daily Worder)
Daily Worder publishes a handful of small word puzzles every morning, new at 5 AM US Eastern Time and the same for everyone, and Totum is one of them. Its twist is that you do not make the words yourself so much as choose the letters they come from.
The board shows sixteen letters. You pick eight, and then every valid word that can be built from those eight letters counts toward your score. A good choice balances vowels and consonants and keeps letters that combine easily, while a rare letter can pay off only if it fits many words.
It is free in the browser, alongside Daily Worder's other puzzles such as Pyramid, Fourbe and Invertle.
It suits players who enjoy anagram games and like a strategic choice before the word-finding starts.

Tips
