About Word Scramble
Word Scramble combines an anagram with a short clue. The built-in pool contains twenty English words ranging from PLANET and GUITAR to THUNDER and DIAMOND, and each game runs for ten rounds.
Scoring rewards consecutive correct words. The code increments streak first, then awards 10 + 5 × streak, so the first correct word in a streak is worth 15 points and the second is worth 20.
How to Play Word Scramble
1Read the hint above the empty letter slots.
2Tap the scrambled letter tiles in the order you think spells the answer.
3A correct word increases streak and score, then advances to the next round.
4If the full guess is wrong, the letters reset so you can retry; Skip reveals the word and moves on.
Word Scramble Rules
- A game lasts 10 rounds.
- Correct score is 10 + 5 × current streak after streak increases.
- A wrong full guess resets streak to zero but keeps you on the same word.
- Skipping reveals the answer and resets streak to zero.
Word Scramble Scoring
| Action | Points | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| First correct word in a streak | +15 | Score formula after a correct answer is 10 + 5 × current streak; streak becomes 1 before points are added. |
| Second consecutive correct word | +20 | — |
| Wrong full guess | Streak resets to 0 | You retry the same word after the letters reset. |
| Skip | Reveal word, streak → 0 | — |
Word Scramble Game Mechanics
Objective
Use scrambled letter tiles and a clue to rebuild the target word across 10 rounds.
Round End
The game ends after round 10 and displays the final accumulated score.
- The built-in word pool contains 20 English words, each with a hint, while a game lasts 10 rounds.
- Each round randomly chooses from the pool independently, so the source code does not prevent a word from appearing again later in the same game.
- The scramble routine reshuffles until the displayed letter order differs from the correct word.
- Score, round and streak exist only in the active page session and are not saved after reload.
Tips & Strategies
- Use the hint first to narrow the answer category before rearranging individual letters.
- Protect a growing streak: later consecutive correct answers are worth more than isolated correct words.
- If a guess is wrong, reuse information from the exact letters rather than changing the semantic answer entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many rounds are in Word Scramble?
Each game lasts 10 rounds.
How does Word Scramble scoring work?
A correct answer increments streak and then awards 10 + 5 × streak. That means the first correct word in a streak is 15 points and the second is 20.
What happens after a wrong word?
Your streak resets to zero and the letter tiles reset so you can try the same word again.
Can words repeat in one game?
The current source chooses a random item from the 20-word pool independently each round, so it does not explicitly prevent repeats.
