Spellitaire is a daily word puzzle that blends the strategy of Scrabble with the card play of Solitaire. You’re dealt a grid of letter cards—each with a point value and a hint of what’s hidden underneath. Select cards from the top of stacks to build words. Used letters disappear, revealing what lies beneath. Cards show how many of their kind remain. You can peek at the next layer to see if a vowel, consonant, or high-value letter is coming. But not which one. Use what you know, and what you almost know, to plan ahead. The longer and rarer the word, the higher your score. The challenge ends when you run out of playable words. Think carefully. Every letter counts. Two ways to play: - Daily Deck (60 cards): Everyone plays the same puzzle each day. Share your score and compare with your friends. - Quick Play (27 cards): Short, replayable challenges. Perfect for practice or a quick brain boost. Go Premium to unlock: - Full archive of past daily puzzles - Custom themes and fonts - Detailed stats Think strategically. Play daily. Score big.
