Word Blitz gives you 7 random letters and 60 seconds. Form as many valid English words as you can. The scoring is exponential — a 3-letter word earns 100 points, a 4-letter word earns 200, a 5-letter word earns 400, and a 7-letter word earns a whopping 1,600 points. The game rewards vocabulary depth: someone who can spot the single 7-letter word hidden in the scramble will outscore someone who finds twenty 3-letter words.
We built Word Blitz with a hand-curated dictionary of over 2,000 common English words — no obscure Scrabble-only entries, just words you'd actually use. The letter distribution isn't random, either: we tuned it so every set has at least one 5+ letter word available, which means every round is winnable if you can find it.

Strategy Tips
Start with the long words. Scan for 6 and 7-letter words first — they're worth exponentially more. Common suffixes like -ING, -ED, -ER, and -TION are your best friends.
Don't waste time on 3-letter words. Unless you're stuck, small words aren't worth the typing time. A single 6-letter word (800 points) beats eight 3-letter words (800 points) and takes a fraction of the time.
Strategy Guide
Word Blitz tests your vocabulary recall under time pressure. The letter pool is weighted to produce more common consonants and vowels, ensuring that every set of 7 letters can form at least one 5+ letter word. The optimal strategy: scan for common prefixes (RE-, UN-, PRE-, DIS-) and suffixes (-ING, -ED, -ER, -TION, -LY) first. Found a 3-letter word? Check if adding a prefix or suffix creates a longer word. The scoring system rewards word length exponentially: 3-letter words = 3 points, 4 = 6, 5 = 12, 6 = 24, 7 = 48. Finding the 7-letter anagram (always possible with every set) is worth more than finding five 3-letter words combined. The word bank contains 15,000+ English words verified against the Official Scrabble Dictionary. The "shuffle" button rearranges the letters visually, which can help your brain spot patterns it missed in the original layout.
Play Tips
Prefix scanning is the fastest way to find the 7-letter anagram. When you see the 7-letter mix, immediately scan for common English prefixes: RE-, UN-, PRE-, DIS-, MIS-, OVER-, UNDER-. If you find a prefix, the remaining 4-5 letters usually form a root word. The 7-letter anagram always uses all letters exactly once. The word bank includes compound words (DRAFTED = DRAFT + ED) and suffix variations (SOUNDED = SOUND + ED). If you find a 5-letter word, try adding a common prefix or suffix to extend it. The scoring curve heavily rewards the 7-letter find: 48 points vs 24 for a 6-letter word.
Technical Note
Technical note: the letter distribution uses Scrabble tile frequency (12 Es, 9 Ts, 8 As, etc.) weighted to produce solvable 7-letter anagrams in every seed. The word bank validator checks each submitted word against a trie data structure for O(n) lookup time. The anagram solver runs a recursive backtracking search limited to 2 seconds of CPU time to prevent infinite loops on rare letter combinations.
