What is Daily Scramble?

Daily Scramble is eWordly's word-finding puzzle. Every day, we give you 7 letters and challenge you to find as many valid words as possible. The puzzle resets at midnight UTC, so everyone in the world plays the same letters each day.

You get 3 lives. Each invalid word guess costs you a life. When you run out of lives or find every valid word, the game ends.

It's a chill puzzle — no clock pressure, no opponent. You're just trying to find words. Most days have 15-30 valid words in the puzzle.

How to play

1. Look at the 7 letters

Each day's puzzle gives you 7 random letters. They're shown as colored tiles below.

2. Build words

Tap the letters in order to build a word (or type on your keyboard). Words must be 3+ letters and use only the letters shown — each letter can be used as many times as it appears in the puzzle.

3. Submit

Click Submit (or press Enter). If it's a valid word, you score points equal to its Scrabble value. If not, you lose a life.

4. Keep finding words

There's no time limit. Find as many words as you can before running out of lives. The puzzle resets at midnight UTC.

Examples

Example 1 — Today's letters: TRIANGLE

From T-R-I-A-N-G-L-E you might find: TRIANGLE (8 letters, 9 pts), TANGIER, GAITERS, GRANITE (7 letters), RATION, RETINA (6 letters)... down to 3-letter words. Total possible: 60+ words, 200+ points.

Example 2 — Strategy

Look for word patterns: -ING endings, RE- prefixes, common digraphs (TH, ST, CH). Longer words score more points, but the +X point bonus for length compounds quickly. Find the 6-7-letter words first.

Example 3 — Don't waste lives

Only submit words you're confident in. Each mistake costs a life. Verify in your head before pressing Enter.
