About Word Scramble
Word Scramble shows you a set of mixed-up letters and a category. Your job is to tap the letters in the right order to spell the hidden word.
Words come from simple categories like animals, colors, fruits, and objects, so it stays friendly for all ages.
How to Play
1Press Start to begin the round.
2Tap scrambled letters to fill the slots in order.
3Tap a filled slot to send that letter back.
4When all slots are filled, the word is checked automatically.
Scoring and Stars
Each correct word gives points, with a small bonus for solving it quickly. Wrong guesses do not end the round; you can rearrange and try again.
A hint reveals one correct letter and costs one star. Use it when you are stuck.
Controls
Mouse click: place letter
Touch tap: place letter
Tap slot: return letter
R: restart
H: hint
Game Tips
Look for common starting letters like S, C, or B based on the category.
Place the letters you are sure about first, then fill the gaps.
If a word feels wrong, tap the slots to rearrange instead of guessing blindly.
Use the category as a clue. It narrows down the possible words.
