Each day, a 5-letter word is hidden in a 5 x 5 grid of random letters. There are often other words that can be found.
Each spin randomizes the letters in the grid, but the daily word is always there.
Click on letters in columns to move the letter to the bottom row to formulate a word guess, then click the Confirm button to check the word.
The daily word is worth 500 points and any other word is worth 125 points. The daily word is selected from a list of 2500 everyday words. Any other words found in the grid are checked against a dictionary of 14,000 common and unusual words.
If needed, use the Hint button to see if any of the chosen letters are correct.
Once the daily word is found, letters used in any remaining words will be highlighted in the grid.

Q. What data is collected when I play the game?
A. The game server logs the IP address of game players when the game is started. The game play statistics are not sent to the server; they are stored on your computer/phone through the use of a browser cookie.

A. Each day after midnight you will automatically earn 500 points and can spin again. Another option is to click on the triangle by the user name and create a new nickname. Every new nickname starts with 750 points.
Q. Why was this game created?
A. Friends and family expressed an interest in playing daily word games based on skill. I thought it would be fun to create a word game that included random luck along with skill. A slot machine came to mind.
