WORD FORGE

Drag any row sideways or any column up or down to rotate the letters, like spinning a combination lock. A real word forms the instant a row or column lines up correctly.

Quest: Choose a difficulty, then find every checklist word before time runs out. Clear the list to advance; run out of time and restart from Round 1. Beat Wordsmith's third round to unlock the secret bonus round.

Tools: Hint finds a useful move, Assist crosses off a random word, Remap reshuffles the board, Shatter changes one tile, and Quench pauses the timer for 10 seconds.

Duel: Make one slide per turn. A 3-letter word scores 1 point and grants one bonus slide. A 4+ letter word scores 2 points and ends your turn. A miss or timeout scores 0 and passes the turn. Multiple words from one slide still count as one move and grant at most one bonus slide. The AI follows the same rules. First to 15 points wins with a 3-point lead required.

Pick an AI difficulty to begin the Duel.
