How to Play
Tap a square and unscramble the word before time runs out. You can guess as many times as you want β get it right and the square becomes yours, but if time runs out before you do, it goes to your opponent instead. Three in a row wins, just like regular tic-tac-toe.
Center is always the longest, hardest word, corners are medium, and edges are the shortest and easiest.
You get a set amount of time to unscramble the word based on difficulty. Because Medium and Hard are longer words to solve, you get slightly more time allotted. Easy gives you 20 seconds, Medium gives you 25 seconds, and Hard gives you 30 seconds.
Some scrambles have more than one answer. Any real word that uses all the letters counts, even if it isn't the one we had in mind (DEBRIS can also be solved as BRIDES).
Solo mode gives you one new puzzle per difficulty every day. Come back tomorrow for a fresh one, or visit the Archive to play past days. (Note: Archived games count towards stats but not for your streak.)
Win all three difficulties in a single day and it's a π§Ή Clean Sweep!
Do it with each win in just three squares (the fewest possible), and you've earned a Perfect Day! That day gets a special π trophy in the Archive.
Challenge a friend in Two Player mode: Pass the device back and forth locally, or host/join a remote game with a friend anywhere. (Note: Two Player mode does not count towards stats.)
