About Word Wheel
Word Wheel gives you seven letters arranged around a wheel. Make words of four letters or more, always including the letter in the middle. Longer words score more, and a word that uses all seven letters earns a bonus. Reach Great to solve the puzzle, then keep going for a higher score.
How to play Word Wheel
- Make words of four letters or more. Every word must use the centre letter; letters can be used more than once.
- A four-letter word scores 1 point; longer words score one point per letter.
- A word that uses all seven letters is a full wheel: 7 bonus points.
- Reach Great (40% of the points) to solve the puzzle, then keep going or press Finish. Most points wins, then time.
Tips & strategy
- Try common endings such as -ING, -ED and -ER whenever the letters allow them.
- Every wheel has at least one word that uses all seven letters. Look for it once you have found a few short words.
- Letters can be used more than once, so try doubling letters you have.
- A short word often hides inside a longer one you have not found yet, and the other way round.
