About Wordtrak

Wordtrak is a scoring word game in the Scrabble family, built around short rows of slots it calls traks. The Daily gives every player the same board: five traks of rising length, each with its own letter and word multipliers, and the same starting hand of seven letters with a point value on each tile.

You fill the traks in any order you like, but each one can be played only once. Filling every slot earns a fill bonus that grows with the trak's length, while empty slots at the end of a trak cost a point or more, so a short word on a long trak can hurt. You start the Daily with three free swaps, and a shop lets you spend banked points on vowel or consonant swaps, a wildcard, a zero-point Hotdog filler, or trak upgrades that lengthen, shorten or reverse a row. Whatever you spend comes off your final score, so every purchase is a bet.

The day's high score and its player are shown on the front page, and the Daily can be played without an account; signing up keeps your score on the leaderboard and your history across devices. Outside the Daily there is a 1v1 mode where two players are dealt identical hands and fight trak by trak.

It suits players who like Scrabble's arithmetic of letter values and bonus squares but want a game that is done in a few minutes.

How to play Wordtrak

1. Open Play Daily to get the day's board: five traks and a hand of seven letter tiles.
2. Swap any letters you do not want, or keep the hand.
3. Tap a trak, then tap letters from your hand to spell a word into its slots from left to right.
4. Press Send to score the word; the trak is then used up.
5. Use swaps or the shop when you are stuck, remembering that points spent come off your score.
6. Play all five traks and compare your total with the day's leaderboard.

Tips

• Save high-value letters for the 3L and 2W slots rather than spending them on the first trak you see.
• A word that fills a long trak earns the fill bonus, which can be worth more than one big letter.
• Shop items cost points: buy one only when it clearly gains more than it costs.
