Word Jumble

Five jumbled words a day, from a quick four-letter warm-up to a tricky eight-letter finale. Put the letters back in order, keep your streak going, and switch to practice for unlimited jumbled words to solve.

How to play Word Jumble

• Each set has five words whose letters have been mixed up. Your job is to put the letters back in the right order.
• Tap the letter tiles in order to spell the word in the answer slots. When every slot is full, your answer is checked automatically.
• Made a mistake? Tap a letter in the answer row to send it back, or press Clear. Shuffle mixes the tiles into a new order, which often makes the word pop out.
• If a different real word uses the very same letters, it counts too.
• Stuck? Hint reveals the next letter of the word (it costs a few points), and Skip word shows the answer and moves on.
• The daily jumble is the same for everyone and unlocks at midnight. Practice mode gives you unlimited sets at Easy, Medium or Hard.

Controls

• Tap or click letter tiles to place them; tap a placed letter to remove it.
• Keyboard: type letters, Backspace removes the last one, Enter checks, Space shuffles, ↑ ↓ switch between words.
• Tap any word in the list to work on it next.

Tips

• Look for common letter pairs such as TH, CH, SH, ER, ING and -TION, and try them at the start or end of the word.
• Place vowels between consonant clusters: most English words alternate between the two.
• Shuffle a few times. Seeing letters in a new order is the fastest way to break a mental block.
• Solve the short words first; they build momentum for the long ones.
