Which Type of Game?

Players can choose to play a traditional 4x4 board (words of 3-letters or more), a 5x5 board (words of 4-letters or more), or our new Hex board of 30 interlocking hexagons. Take your pick!

4 x 4 Board

The original, traditional Wordtwist board. A four-by-four square of letters, with two minutes to find as many words as possible. Each word must have at least three letters.

5 x 5 Board

A new twist on an old favorite. A five-by-five square of letters, with three minutes to find as many words as possible. Each word must have at least four letters.

Hex Board

Something completely different: thirty letters arranged in interlocking hexagons. Words are formed by moving between hexagons that share a side, with three minutes to find as many words as possible. Each word must have at least four letters.

6 x 6 Board

Only available for our premium players, these 6x6 boards are the largest ones we offer. A six-by-six square of letters, with four minutes to find as many words as possible. Each word must have at least four letters.
