How to Play Word Builder

The objective

Build a list of valid words from the seven-letter set, always including the center letter, and earn points.

How to play Word Builder

1. 01

   Study the seven-letter wheel and identify the required center letter.

2. 02

   Enter a word that uses only letters from the wheel and includes the center letter.

3. 03

   Submit the word. Accepted words are added to your found-word list and score.

4. 04

   Try different prefixes, suffixes, and letter combinations. Available letters may be reused within a word.

5. 05

   Look for a pangram that uses all seven distinct letters to earn the special bonus, then try another practice set if you want more.

Word Builder rules

• A valid word must meet the displayed minimum length, which is four letters in the current game.
• Every accepted word must include the center letter.
• Only letters shown in the seven-letter set may be used, but those letters can be repeated.
• A word can score only once in a given letter set.
• A pangram uses all seven available letters at least once and earns a bonus.

Word Builder tips and strategy

• Start with common word endings and beginnings, then combine them with the center letter.
• Try plurals, verb forms, and longer words that can be built from a shorter base.
• Check whether a word can use all seven letters; pangrams are valuable scoring opportunities.
• Use the found-word list to avoid repeating an answer.
