Read full description

Scramblio is a fast-paced word game where you race a friend or another player to unscramble words first. You both get the same jumbled letters, and the first to find the word wins the round. You have 60 seconds on the clock and an opponent just as quick as you! EIGHT ARENAS Choose where you play, from the Cafรฉ to the Tower of Babel. Each arena has its own cost, its own reward and its own words: easy at the start of the road, hard at the end. New arenas open as your level grows. LIVE MATCHES OF 10 ROUNDS Pick an arena, choose Live match and you're playing in seconds. A match is paid once, before the first round. The rounds follow one another by themselves, and whoever wins more of them gets the reward shown before the match. DUELS AT YOUR OWN PACE Play 3 rounds whenever you like, in the arena you choose. Your opponent gets the same words later, and the result waits for you. EVENTS EVERY DAY AND EVERY WEEK โ€ข Word of the day: one word, the same for everyone. โ€ข Daily Blitz: 60 seconds, as many words as you can. โ€ข The Castle: three steps to the word that saves the world. โ€ข Theme of the week: words from one field, like animals, food or travel. โ€ข Today's challenges: small goals that give coins and XP. The top three of a board get coins when it closes, and the coins grow with every player who takes part. THE CUP A week of knock-out: Qualifiers, Semifinal, Final. Entry is free, the podium's coins grow with every player who enters, and whoever wins wears the champion's frame until the next cup. FRIENDS Add friends by name or by code, see who is online, and invite them to a live match or a duel. ITEMS Avatars (some of them animated), frames and letter-tile styles: choose how the other players see you. Get them with coins or by watching videos; some are earned with levels. LEVELS & REWARDS Every match gives you XP. New levels bring coins and open arenas and items. The daily reward grows over a 7-day streak, and today's leaderboard gives coins to its top places. HINTS In matches and duels, a hard word starts with its first letter shown, and one hint reveals the next letter for coins; easy and medium words have no hints. In the events, a hint shows a letter for coins or for a video. 17 LANGUAGES Play in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Romanian and many more. IN-MATCH CHAT Say hi to your opponent with quick messages. Reporting and blocking are one tap away. VIRTUAL COINS Each match has a coin cost, and a win brings the reward shown before the match. Coins are in-game items only: they have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be transferred outside the app. What the events and the Cup give is coins of the same kind. Scramblio is a skill-based word game. PLAY ANYTIME If no player joins quickly, a practice opponent steps in so you can keep playing without waiting.
