5x5 is a fresh take on word games. You're given a 5x5 board and 25 letters — one at a time. Place each letter strategically to build words across and down. Score points for every word you make. How it works: 25 letters are revealed one at a time Place each letter anywhere on the board Words score across and down — 3 letters or more Once placed, a letter can't be moved — so think before you tap! Scoring: 3-letter words = 3 points 4-letter words = 5 points 5-letter words = 7 points The longer the word, the bigger the reward. A single well-placed letter can score in both a row and a column at the same time so plan ahead and watch your score climb. Place. Build. Score!
