WORD GAME GUIDE
How to Play Letter Swap: Rules and Scoring
Put three Across and three Down words in place by swapping tiles. You have fifteen swaps.
Controls and allowed moves
Select one tile, then another to exchange them. A check marks a tile in the right position. A tilde means that letter can fit elsewhere in one of the words through that tile. An × marks no extra match in those words.
Solving strategy
Keep correctly placed tiles as anchors. At a crossing, write down a possible Across word and a possible Down word. The best next swap can place a letter in each answer at once.
Worked example
Imagine a row reads SOTNE and you can make STONE by swapping O and T. Check the Down words at those positions first. If both crossings agree, the swap is a good use of one turn.
Common mistakes
A yellow tile at a crossing can belong to either the row or the column. Test both directions. Selecting two identical letters does not use a swap.
Daily score calculation
After making a move, the fraction of the 21 letters in their correct positions is scaled to 1,000 points. A fully solved board earns 1,000. Finishing before your fifteenth swap does not add a bonus.
