A Scrabble-style word game

The classic tile-and-board word game, in your browser, tablet, or phone — no install required, though it works like a native app if you want it to.

Play the NASPA Official Word List (NWL), the same list used in tournament play. No cartoons, no ads.

Play your way

Solo vs. the computer

A computer opponent at the difficulty you choose — with Learning Mode hints when you want to get better, not just win.

Online with friends

Host a game, share the code, and up to three friends join free. Chat sits right next to the board, and anyone else can follow along with a watch-only link. If it has been someone's turn for a while, a gentle nudge reminds them.

Pass-and-play

Share one device around the table, old-school style — no accounts, no network, no waiting.

Casual, Standard, or Tournament

Relaxed and forgiving for a night in, or full tournament rigor: chess clocks with configurable time controls and overtime penalties, plus word challenges that void the play, double the penalty, or cost a flat five points — the host decides.

Run a game night

Invite six to twelve people and the fixtures build themselves — everyone plays everyone once, with a standings table that fills in as games finish. Made for a family, a class, or a group at work, not a tournament hall.

Games on your schedule

Plan one ahead and invite friends by email — everyone gets a calendar invite and the room opens itself when the time comes. Keep several games running at once and switch between them with a tap.

It should feel like a real board

Built for touch as much as mouse

Drag a tile for the tactile feel, or tap to place it for speed — and size the board to your screen with a slider, so a 15×15 grid works on a phone.

Watch your score build

A live point bubble tracks what your word is worth, right on the board, as you lay down each tile.

Celebrations that actually celebrate

Bingos, big plays, personal bests, and hot streaks each get their own moment on screen.

Six palettes, eight text sizes

Classic, Midnight, Coastal, Mocha, Dark Rose, and Nova — at a size that's comfortable for any set of eyes.

Get better, and keep it

Learning Mode

A hint shows good moves before you commit — and right after, the single best move you could have made instead.

Vocabulary Builder

Missed a higher-scoring word? It becomes a flashcard — word, definition, and the points it cost you — so it doesn't get away twice. Ten words free; unlimited with Studio Pass.

Badges and a permanent record

Every finished game lands in your profile — record, best single play, bingos — alongside badges for milestones and for friends you bring who make an account of their own.

Share the good ones

Turn a finished board into a solvable crossword to send around, or grab a snippet that replays the whole game tile by tile on your own site.

A passkey, and you're in

Sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello — no password to forget. Your games follow you across devices, and push notifications nudge you when it's your turn.
