Daily

Today's sprint (#30)

  • 60 seconds. Words grow from 5 to 7 letters.
  • Quick answers earn a speed bonus, and answers in a row build a combo.
  • Skipping costs 15 points and resets your combo.
  • A hint reveals the next letter but halves that word's points.

How to play Anagram Sprint

  1. 1

    Press Start

    The clock starts at 60 seconds and your first scrambled word appears as letter tiles.

  2. 2

    Unscramble it

    Tap the tiles in order or just type. When every letter is used we check your answer straight away, with no Enter key needed.

  3. 3

    Any anagram counts

    If the letters spell more than one word (like LISTEN and SILENT), any valid answer that uses all of them is accepted.

  4. 4

    Chain your answers

    Each correct answer in a row adds 25% to your combo multiplier, up to triple points. Answers under 12 seconds also earn a speed bonus.

  5. 5

    Skip or ask for help

    Skip for a 15-point penalty, or take a hint that reveals the next letter and halves that word's points.

  6. 6

    Review your round

    When time runs out you will see every word you solved and missed. Tap any word for its definition.

Train your anagram reflexes

Seeing words hidden in a jumble of letters is the core skill behind Scrabble, Words With Friends, Text Twist and newspaper jumbles. Most of it is pattern recognition, and like any pattern skill it gets faster with short, regular practice. Anagram Sprint gives you that practice in one-minute rounds you can fit in anywhere.

Five habits of fast unscramblers

  1. Spot the suffix. If you see I, N and G, try putting -ING at the end before anything else. The same goes for -ED, -ER, -LY and -EST.
  2. Pair consonants that like each other. TH, SH, CH, ST, TR and BL start or end thousands of words.
  3. Alternate vowels and consonants. Most common words follow a consonant-vowel rhythm, so try building one.
  4. Say it out loud. Sounding out possible syllables often works faster than shuffling letters in your head.
  5. Use shuffle. A fresh arrangement of the tiles can make the answer jump out. It's free, so use it often.

To see every word hiding in a set of letters, paste them into the word unscrambler or the anagram solver. Or move up to 7-letter words, the length of a Scrabble bingo.

Frequently asked questions

How is Anagram Sprint scored?
Every solved word is worth 10 points per letter, plus a speed bonus of up to 36 points for answering within 12 seconds. That total is multiplied by your combo: ×1 for the first word, then +0.25 for each consecutive solve, up to ×3. Using a hint halves the word's points, and skipping costs 15 points and resets the combo.
Is there a daily challenge?
Yes. Everyone gets the same set of words each day, so scores are directly comparable. Your first daily run counts toward your stats and streak. After that, replay as often as you like or switch to practice mode for fresh words.
What words are used?
Common English words of five to seven letters. The round starts with five-letter words and moves up to six and seven letters as you go. Answers are checked against the US Scrabble dictionary, so any real anagram of the letters is accepted.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. On a phone, tap the letter tiles or use the on-screen keyboard. On a computer, just type. Space shuffles the tiles, Enter or the right arrow skips, and ? asks for a hint.
How do I get better at anagrams?
Look for common chunks first: endings like -ING, -ED, -ER and -LY, and starts like RE-, UN- and PRE-. Place the rare letters (J, K, Q, X, Z) early, since they usually only fit one or two ways. After each round, our anagram solver shows you the words you missed.
Where is my best score saved?
Your best score, daily results and streak are stored in this browser on this device. No account is needed. Clearing your browser data resets them.
