How to play
- The target word at the top shows the letters you can use.
- Tap letter buttons (or use your physical keyboard) to build a word ≥ 3 letters.
- Press ✓ Submit (or Enter) to score.
- Each letter in your word is worth 1 point. Finding the target itself doubles its score.
- Hit 60% of total possible for Genius rank. 100% is Master.
Strategy tips
- Find the target first. It's the single largest score in the puzzle — double-points. If the target word feels solvable, attack it before grinding shorter words.
- Common suffixes unlock chains. If -ING works on the root, often -ER, -ED, and -S do too. Same root, multiple words.
- Don't skip 3-letter words. They're cheap (3 points) but they add up. Six 3-letter finds = 18 points = the value of finding the target.
- Watch letter multiplicity. If the target has only one E, you can't use two. The letter pool resets between words but never grows beyond the target.
Why Word Builder?
Word Builder rewards vocabulary breadth — how many words you simply know exist. It's the closest cousin to our Spelling Bee, but with a different feel: instead of a 7-letter honeycomb you get a single substantial target, and the satisfaction of finding the target itself anchors the puzzle.
