How to Play Letter Grid
Letter Grid hides dozens of words in sixteen letters. Find them by tracing paths.
The rules
- A word is a path through the grid: each letter touches the one before it, sideways, up, down or diagonally.
- Each square can be used once in a word.
- Words need at least three letters in the easy grid, four in the others.
- Points: 1 for three or four letters, 2 for five, 3 for six, 5 for seven.
Playing on kawu
- Drag across the letters (or click them one by one), then release or press Enter. Backspace removes the last letter; Escape clears.
- The counter shows how many words the grid holds and how many you've found. Finish whenever you like; the result lists the words you missed.
- Hint tells you the length and first letter of the longest word left.
- Grids: 4×4 with 3+ letters, 4×4 with 4+, 5×5 with 4+. The daily grid is the same for everyone.
