Find a word

Connect touching letters in any direction. Words need at least three letters. Tap Play. The used letters clear and fresh ones fall in. Longer words and rarer letters score more. There is no timer.

Keep the weeds back

Your first weed arrives after three words. Use a weed’s letter to clear it. Lower-scoring words make new growth more likely; higher-scoring words slow it down. There is always some chance of growth, and later levels are tougher.

Weeds fall with their letters. Three overgrown bottom spaces end the run. Clear threatened letters before the garden fills up.

Bloom · arrives at Level 2

Your first Bloom is a gift. Every three words of five or more letters earn another. Keep up to two ready.

Tap Bloom, choose a patch, then tap Bloom again to clear its weeds. Preview the patch first. Letters stay in place and it uses no turn. An empty patch costs nothing.

Water · arrives at Level 3

A blue water tile doubles the word’s score. Using more than one water tile still doubles it once. A higher word score also reduces the chance of weed growth.

Shuffle, levels, and controls

Shuffle gives fresh letters while weeds stay in place. It uses a turn, so weeds may grow. If there are no legal words, Shuffle is free and causes no growth.

Eight words reach Level 2, then ten words per level. Shuffles do not advance levels. Your word collection and records stay across runs. New rules have their own score record; your earlier word collection carries over.

Tap a selected letter to backtrack. Double-tap the final tile or selected word to play. On a keyboard, type letters and press Enter; Escape clears, Backspace undoes. Arrow keys move between tiles and Space selects. Invalid words cost nothing. Qu counts as two letters.
