How List of Words works
One hundred and forty-four letter tiles, and as many words as you can build from them. Play it untimed or against a two-minute clock.
Every round deals 144 tiles, 52 of them vowels, with consonants drawn to match how often letters appear in English. No two rounds deal the same board, so the words you find are always different.
Each tile is its own piece: once a tile has been used in an accepted word it is spent for the rest of the round, so the board gets smaller as you get better. Tiles you selected but didn't score stay on the board.
Pick tiles in order to build a word of three letters or more, then submit it. A word is accepted only if it is a real word on the game's own list — a filtered list of common English words, matched whole, with no suffixes generated by rule.
A word can be claimed once per round, and it has to be built from the tiles still available. Nothing is guessed into existence, so if it isn't accepted, it isn't on the list.
Points depend only on length: a three-letter word scores 1, four letters 2, five 4, six 6, seven 10, eight 15, and nine or more 20.
That means long words are where the score is, but a stream of short ones adds up fast — accepting a small word beats stalling on a perfect one.
Classic Mode has no clock at all: study the board and build as long a list as you like.
Challenge Mode is exactly 120 seconds. A signed-in player's clock is measured by the server, so it can't be paused or bought back; a guest plays the same 120-second countdown timed on their own device.
List of Words has no public leaderboard. Signed-in players' rounds are official: the server deals the tiles, owns the clock, and keeps the result in My Stats alongside your verified totals.
Guests get a local summary of the round that stays on their own device. Either way, nothing is published to a public board.
- Start with the endings you already have: plurals, -ED, -ING, -ER.
- Look for the six-to-eight letter words early, while the board is still full.
- In Challenge Mode, accept the small words instead of stalling on one long answer.
