Game introduction

What is Word Scramble?

Word Scramble mixes the letters of a familiar word and asks you to restore the original spelling. Category clues and optional letter hints keep the challenge moving.

Difficulty controls word length and vocabulary. Each new round draws from a broad themed list and guarantees a scramble that differs from the answer.
