Word Scramble (Puzzleship)

Word Scramble is one of the daily word games on Puzzleship. Each puzzle shows four rows of tiles, one per answer, each under its clue. The letters are not scrambled word by word: the letters of all four answers are pooled and dealt out, so a row may hold letters that belong to another word, and a swap can move a tile from one row to another.

Because feedback comes letter by letter, you can test an arrangement without knowing the answer and let the green tiles confirm it. A tile that lands in its right place turns green and locks, so the board narrows as you go. Every tile starts out of place. Placing vowels sensibly and keeping pairs like QU, TH and CH together often reveals a word before the clue does, and one solved word takes its letters out of the pool for the rest.

The six daily tabs differ in the clue. Mix names only each word's category, such as Birds or River. Clues gives a proper definition. One Clue gives one theme for all four words and nothing else, the hardest mode. Two Clues joins two meanings with or, Associations gives three related words such as Burrow, Nocturnal and Snout for AARDVARK, and Thematic gives a theme plus a clue for each word.

Puzzleship publishes six Word Scramble puzzles a day, one in each clue style. Each day's puzzles are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and earlier days stay playable in the archive. The page says the next set appears at midnight your time, but the set dated for a day goes up at 13:00 UTC, so players in Europe and the Americas get it in the afternoon or morning, and the countdown can sit at zero until then. The site is free with ads beside and above the board, and a premium plan removes them. It suits players who like anagrams but want steady feedback rather than a blank grid.
