Make words before the board fills. Chase your high score solo, or outscore a friend in a 90-second word duel. WordSpurt is a fast-paced word game where every word makes room for the next. New letters keep arriving on a 6x6 board. Tap letters in order, then submit your word to score points and clear the tiles you used. CHOOSE LETTERS ANYWHERE Your letters don't need to touch. Find English words of three letters or more using any available tiles. Clear a short word when space is tight, or hunt for a longer word to earn a bigger length bonus. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Play a private multiplayer word game with someone you know. Enter a nickname, create a room, and share the code. When you're both ready, the countdown begins. You get the same incoming letters on the same schedule, each on your own board. Follow both scores live as you race to find your next word. Rounds last up to 90 seconds. If there is no room for your next letter, your board stops and your score freezes. Your friend can keep scoring until their board stops or time runs out. The higher final score wins; equal scores tie. SEE WHO FOUND WHAT Compare both players' submitted words and scores after the match. Ready up together for a rematch and another shot at the lead. MAKE YOUR VOCABULARY COUNT Longer words, rare letters, and quick submissions can add to your score. Chain submissions to build combos up to 2.5x. Decide when to clear space and when to chase a bigger word. BEAT YOUR OWN SCORE Prefer a solo challenge? Keep the board open as letters arrive faster, review the words you found, and chase a new personal best. Words use an English dictionary. Multiplayer requires an internet connection and a second player.
