Word Chase (CleverGoat)

About Word Chase (CleverGoat)

Word Chase is one of the CleverGoat daily games, beside Flipple, Categories, Stacked and Takes. Each numbered game is one board of letters, the same for every player that day, and you have two minutes on it.

The board is a cross-shaped arrangement of about thirty letter tiles linked by lines. A word must be at least two letters long and is traced through tiles that touch, beside, above, below or diagonally. Each letter is worth 10 points, and from the sixth letter of a word on, each letter is worth 20, so long words pay well. A few tiles carry DW or TW badges that double or triple the score of any word routed through them. Found words and your score sit under the board next to the clock.

When time runs out you can share your score and compare it with friends; a practice mode and a tutorial sit on the start screen. The games are free with ads, and an ad-free option is offered.

It suits Boggle fans who like a quick daily sprint with a little planning about where to spend the bonus squares.

How to play Word Chase (CleverGoat)

1. Press Start to reveal the day's board and start the two-minute timer.
2. Trace a word through touching letters, diagonals included, without reusing a tile.
3. Route words through DW and TW tiles to double or triple their score.
4. Find as many words as you can before the clock reaches zero, then share your score.

Tips

• Long words pay: letters past the fifth are worth double.
• Route words through DW and TW squares.
• Short words still add up when time is short.
