Letters fall roughly in order, two words shuffled together — watch the NEXT queue and work out what's coming.
• Words count anywhere in a row or column, no clean space needed; the longest word in the run wins. Tiles above drop down, and chain drops score double.
• Columns read top-to-bottom — your last letter lands on top, so plan down-words in reverse.
• Each tile shows its letter value, Scrabble-style — Q and Z are gold dust, vowels are pennies.
• Gold ✱ tiles are wild — any letter you need, in words of 4+ (worth nothing themselves, and use as many as you like in one word).
• ⇆ SHUFFLE re-orders the letters you can already see in NEXT. Nothing is added or taken away, only the order — so you can set up the long word instead of watching a short one clear first. Press it as often as you like.
• In a mess? PANIC sweeps the bottom row for zero points — its letters rejoin the queue. Three per game, and every press costs 1 word from your 10.
• Fill any column to the top and you're buried — the rest of the day's letters are lost.
Keys: arrows or A/S/D, X shuffles, P pauses. Tap the board: sides steer, middle drops. ♪ up top turns the tune on.
