How to Play Word Hunt

To play, click or tap a letter and then drag it to connect and create a word. Keep an eye on the puzzle grid for context clues that will help you find your next word to unscramble. For every puzzle you complete, you'll progress to a new level. As you meet new milestones, you'll receive coins to use towards hints to help advance in the game.

With so many possible word combinations, you may create words that don't appear on your puzzle grid. These are Bonus Words – valid words not found in the puzzle you're currently solving. Click the star icon on the screen to see how many Bonus Words you've created on that level. The more bonus words you make, the closer you get to earning coins as a reward for your expansive vocabulary.

Having a hard time finding the right word? There are hints you can use in the game to help you along, including:

• Shuffle: Rearrange the words on your screen – don't underestimate the power of seeing the same set of words in a new formation. It may bring you one step closer to solving the puzzle. There is no limit to how many times you can shuffle your words.
• Magnifier: Reveals a letter on the puzzle grid.
• Light bulb: Reveals a word in the puzzle grid.

To use the magnifier and light bulb hints, you must use coins, so use them wisely to help you along when you're stuck. You can also try these three methods to unscramble words that will help you in Word Hunt and other word games:

• Alphabetical order: Grab a paper and pen and write the scrambled letters alphabetically. This approach often helps reveal hidden words, especially when dealing with longer or more complex word scrambles. Once alphabetically sorted, try different combinations to find a meaningful word.
• Letter Frequency: Look for high-frequency letters like vowels and common consonants. Rearrange those letters to form words, then build around them to find the word.
• Anagram arrangements: Identify common prefixes or suffixes and try to rearrange the remaining letters. Do you see any recognizable patterns within the scrambled letters? Break the word into smaller fragments and experiment with combinations until a word emerges.

When in doubt, take a break. Sometimes, stepping away and returning with fresh eyes can lead to exciting breakthroughs in unscrambling words and solving complicated word puzzles.
