Begin at N, move left to E, diagonally down-right to A, then diagonally down-right to R. Every move touches, and no tile is reused.
✓Horizontal, vertical, and diagonal changes are all allowed.
✓Drag back over the previous tile to undo your latest step before releasing.
✓Release anywhere after the final letter to submit the path.
Scoring
Longer discoveries earn more points
Every accepted word is scored once. Build from reliable four-letter finds, then rescan those same neighborhoods for longer routes.
| Word length | Example value |
|---|---|
| 4 letters | 2 points |
| 5 letters | 4 points |
| 6 letters | 7 points |
| 7 letters | 10 points |
A useful scanning rhythm
Find short words first to learn the board. Then add a letter at either end, reverse direction, or approach a promising cluster from another starting tile. Duplicate words do not score twice.
