WORD GAME GUIDE
How to Play Word Tile Clear: Rules and Scoring
Make words of three or more letters from neighboring tiles. Clear three rows before the three-minute timer ends.
Controls and allowed moves
Tap or drag through touching tiles, then select Submit word. Diagonals count. After a valid submission, the used tiles disappear and the letters above them drop. Trace each new word on the updated board.
Solving strategy
A longer path can clear more tiles in one move, but length alone does not determine progress. Clearing most of the letters from one column leaves tall stacks elsewhere. Look for words that remove tiles from several columns.
Worked example
If the top row reads CANDLE, tracing it removes six tiles across the whole row. If you instead clear CAN on one side, the remaining letters still prevent a full row from clearing.
Common mistakes
A valid word can stop fitting after gravity moves the letters. Read the new positions rather than tracing the same coordinates. Unlike Word Grid, a used tile disappears.
Daily score calculation
One cleared row earns 333 points, two earn 666 and three earn 1,000. An expired round saves the score you already earned. There is no fixed word list to reveal for a board in play.
