## What is Flash Words?

Flash Words, the word game where every second counts.

Sixteen letters on a 4×4 grid, three minutes on the clock: slide your finger across neighboring letters to make as many words as you can. More than 120,000 English words are accepted, from three letters up.

DUELS ON THE SAME GRID
Tap "Play": another player takes up your challenge on exactly the same grid, with the same letters and the same bonus squares. The higher score wins. No need to be online at the same time: a notification tells you when your opponent has played.
• Win: +3 points
• Draw: +1 point
• Loss: −1 point

A LEADERBOARD EVERY MONTH
Each month a new season starts and everyone begins from zero. Aim for the Top 20 or follow your rank in "My zone". Past seasons' leaderboards stay available.

A DEFINITION FOR EVERY WORD
A word game that grows your vocabulary: every word you find shows its definition during the game. At the end, tap any word of the grid, found or missed, to read its full definition and see its path on the grid.

THE GAME
• A grid of 16 letters, 3 minutes, no pause.
• Link neighboring letters in all 8 directions, never using the same one twice.
• Each letter has its value. Bonus squares double or triple a letter or the whole word, and long words earn a bonus.

PRACTICE
Free practice games every day, with no opponent and nothing at stake, to warm up.

FREE AND AD-FREE
No ads, ever. You get diamonds to start, then more each day you open the game, up to your cap; a duel uses one. Out of diamonds? Come back tomorrow, or practice in the meantime.
Three optional purchases, with no subscription and no automatic renewal, let you go further:
• The Double Pack, yours forever: twice as many diamonds each day, a doubled cap, and your balance raised to that cap right away.
• The 30-Day Pass: for 30 days, duels without spending diamonds and unlimited practice. It stops on its own.
• The 50-Diamond Reserve: 50 diamonds kept apart from your balance, with no expiry, used only when your balance is at 0.

GOOD TO KNOW
• An Internet connection is needed to play.
• Sign in with one tap using your Google or Apple account.
• Prefer French words? Switch the dictionary to French in your profile.
