A focus for your next round

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Enter the intended word using every shown letter. Correct answers finish the round and add to your session total. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Start here and follow along

  1. Read the clue and the scrambled letters.
  2. Type a possible word in the answer field.
  3. Choose Check answer. An incorrect attempt allows another try.
  4. Choose New word to move to another clue.

Your inputs

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

Learn from a sample situation

The letters of GARDEN can be rearranged; the clue “A place where plants grow” identifies GARDEN. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

A mistake to avoid

A different anagram may be a valid word but still not match this clue. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
