Word Scramble

Word Scramble is a classic word game where you unscramble letters to find words. Find one word after the next and see how many you can find before the timer runs out!

What Is Word Scramble?

Word Scramble is a classic Flash-era browser game. You can play it free in your browser here β€” no Adobe Flash Player required.

How to Play

Press the Play button on this page and Word Scramble loads directly in your browser β€” free, with nothing to install.

The gameplay in Word Scramble is relatively easy. All you need to do is click and drag letters from a series of tiles to rearrange them into a word. You may spot the word immediately and move the tiles to suit. Or you may need a bit more help to make sense of the tiles, in which case, you can choose to move the letters around until something "clicks" and you spot a word, or if you are really stumped, click the hint button and get the definition of the word - there isn't a better hint than that!

Once you know the word, move the letters to form a valid word, and then click submit.

The main caveat is the timer. You must form the word before the timer runs out; otherwise, the game will end, and you will have to start over again!

The words vary from easy to difficult, and the game gets trickier over time. Use your problem-solving skills to determine as many as possible and get your highest score yet!
