WORDY⁴

 

The goal of wordy⁴ is to find four 4-letter words in the letter grid by connecting neighboring letters up, down, left or right. There are four initial colored squares, and each one belongs to a different word.

HOW TO PLAY

You form words by dragging paths over neighboring letters. You could choose the word STIR by dragging the letters S, T, I and R in that order.

Alternatively you could choose BONE by dragging the letters E, N, O and B in reverse order.

However, for this grid, the four letters P, O, S and T as shown below is invalid since it does not include one of the initial colored squares.

If you change your mind, double tap (or click) on a colored path to reset chosen letters. Once all squares are colored, select Submit to see if you have solved the puzzle!

Scoring

When you form a four-letter word, your score increases by one. Since you have to make four words, this means the lowest, and best, possible score is a 4. If you change your mind and remove a four-letter word you had previously formed, your score remains the same, but it will continue to increase with each new four-letter word you form.

You earn more stars based on fewer guesses. Check out your total stars earned in the game statistics.

Settings

If you Enable Hints then you will be prevented from forming invalid four-letter words. You still might be unable to solve a puzzle even though you only form valid words because the final solution must color every square in the grid.

If you choose the Underline Initial setting, then the four initial colored squares will show a dashed underline when selected. This can be helpful when deciding whether to remove a word you have already formed.

A new wordy⁴ is available each day!

Different Versions

You can use the menu in the upper left corner of the app to choose three different sized wordy games (4x4, 5x5 and 6x6) as well as challenging arrangements with longer words (7x3, 8x4 and 9x4).
