Word Sprint is a quick-fire word puzzle. You get a jumble of letters and a small clue, like Animal or Food, and you have to rearrange them into a real word before the timer runs out. Every word you solve adds a few seconds back to the clock. Solve enough words to clear the level, and the next level brings longer words and a bigger target.
How to play
- Look at the clue and the jumbled letter tiles. Tap the tiles, or type the letters on your keyboard, to build a word in the empty slots.
- When every slot is filled, your word is checked automatically. You can also press Enter or tap the Enter button.
- A correct word scores points and adds 3 seconds to the clock. A wrong word clears so you can try again.
- Solve the number of words shown at the top before time runs out to clear the level. Level 1 uses 4-letter words, and each level after adds a letter, up to 7.

Tips
- Use the clue. Knowing the word is an animal or a colour narrows it down fast.
- Look for common endings like -ER, -ING and -LE, and common pairs like TH, SH and CH.
- Shuffle is free. A fresh arrangement of the letters often makes the word jump out.
- Hint locks in the first letter but costs 10 points for that word, while Skip costs 5 seconds. Use Hint when you're close and Skip when you're stuck.
- Time left when you finish a level is turned into bonus points, so speed pays off.
