About Word Frenzy (Try Hard Guides)

Word Frenzy is a free browser word game hosted by Try Hard Guides, a site best known for word game answers and guides. Each day it posts one puzzle: a set of letters, up to eight of them, and a hidden list of valid words that can be made from them.

You type words between four and eight letters long. Longer words score more, and every word you find adds time to the countdown. You start with only some of the letters; the rest sit greyed out beside them and unlock one at a time as your score passes each target, and a shuffle button rearranges what you have. The twist is the mascot, Sharky: if you go more than 30 seconds without finding a word, he goes into a feeding frenzy and eats a letter, which lowers the best score you can reach.

When the game ends you see your score against the winning score and the words you missed. A countdown shows when the next puzzle arrives, and the page asks you to come back tomorrow.

It suits anagram fans who like a bit of time pressure.

How to play Word Frenzy (Try Hard Guides)

1. Open Word Frenzy and press Start the Frenzy.
2. Type a word of four to eight letters made from the letters shown and press Enter.
3. Keep finding words to add time to the clock and reach the score that unlocks the next greyed-out letter.
4. Find a word at least every 30 seconds, or Sharky eats a letter.
5. Aim for the winning score before the time runs out, or press Give Up to see the words you missed.

Tips

• Look for common endings like S, ED and ING to turn one word into several.
• Find a quick short word whenever the 30-second warning gets close.
• Long words are worth more, so try for the full-length anagram early.
• Use the shuffle button when the letters stop suggesting anything new.
