Each day at midnight US Central Time, you'll get a new set of 5 unique letters. Your goal is to form as many valid words as possible (from the official Scrabble word list) using only those letters. You don't need to use all the letters, but no others are allowed.
Example (letters: abelp): valid words include peal, babble, bell, etc.
Longer words (8+ letters) earn time bonuses. Points are awarded by word length:
- 1-letter: 1 pt
- 2-letter: 2 pts
- 3-letter: 3 pts
- 4-letter: 4 pts
- 5-letter: 5 pts
- 6-letter: 7 pts
- 7-letter: 9 pts
- 8-letter: 12 pts
- 9-letter: 16 pts
- 10-letter: 20 pts
- 11-letter: 30 pts
- 12-letter: 40 pts
- 13-letter: 50 pts
The leaderboard resets daily at midnight. Before starting, you can play a previous day's quiz by clicking on 'Play A Previous Date' and choosing an available date (in red) from the calendar.
FYI – this quiz has separate leaderboards for each first word.
Would it be possible to get a “most popular words” list for this type of quiz? This way it would be easier to play the words that have more active leaderboards if you will.
Remind me in a little bit (later this year) after more people have played.
I think the 20 missed is only showing ones that you missed that would have been in the top 20.
I think it only does that for the first person to take the quiz with that first word, afterwards it shouldn’t.
Yes, I just checked on a word I’d already used, it’s working now.
