Typing and words

Tap tiles, type their letters or drag them into the submit bar. A word must be in the dictionary and at least as long as the difficulty asks (see Modes and difficulties).

Dictionaries

English accepts British and American spellings (colour and color).
Hungarian uses its own dictionary, with inflected forms (házban, kenyeret). CS, GY, LY, NY, SZ, TY and ZS are single tiles and count as one letter; accented vowels count as vowels.
A word that isn't real costs nothing. If a real word is at most two typos away and the board can spell it, the game asks "Did you mean…?".

Which tile a letter picks

Typing a letter takes the most valuable matching tile: special tiles first, then the most points.
Multi-letter tiles (like -ING or SZ) win when you type their letters. Each of their letters counts toward the word's length and letter bonus.
An Initial is picked only as the first letter, a Dot only as the last.
A Joker can be any single letter and scores 0 points.

Building the word

Removing a letter from the front or the middle leaves a gap; only a word without gaps can be submitted. Hold or right-click an empty spot to close the gaps.
Hold or right-click a tile to put it at the front of the word.
Drag a tile onto any spot of the word, onto an upgrade to use it on that tile, or back to the board.
Refresh (hold it) swaps the whole board for new tiles and uses a refresh. Shuffle is free; hold it to sort A to Z, again for vowels first.

Free prefixes and suffixes

Some modifiers let a word start or end with an extra prefix or suffix on top of a real word (RE-, -ING…). The game strips it once, so the rest must be a real word.
