Word Drop

About Word Drop

Word Drop's daily challenge is a numbered grid of letter tiles, the same for every player. You tap or drag through tiles that touch, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, to spell a word at least three letters long, then submit it. Valid words clear their tiles from the board and score points.

Length matters most: a three-letter word is worth 100 points, a five-letter word 250, a seven-letter word 600 and a twelve-letter word 2,100. Letters also have values, from 1 for common ones up to 10 for Q and Z. Special tiles add more: 2L and 3L multiply a letter, 2W and 3W multiply the whole word, and a bomb clears the tiles around it for 50 bonus points each.

Besides the Daily, there is a Weekly Challenge, a custom game with grids from 6x6 to 12x12, an optional timer, and a multiplayer mode where friends join by link or through a public lobby. Registering keeps your stats and puts your score on the daily and weekly leaderboards. The site is free with ads.

How to play Word Drop

1. Open the Word Drop Daily Challenge.
2. Tap or drag through adjacent tiles, in any direction, to spell a word of three letters or more.

4. Use 2L, 3L, 2W and 3W tiles in long words for bigger scores, and look for bombs.
5. Keep going until you are done or press Give Up, then check the leaderboard.

Tips

• Long words pay far more than short ones: a seven-letter word is worth six three-letter words.
• Save multiplier tiles for your longest words.
• Use bomb tiles to clear crowded parts of the board.
• Look for common endings such as -ING, -ERS and -EST among touching tiles.
