Wordburst is a quick word puzzle. Drag through neighbouring letters, in any direction including diagonals, to spell a word. The letters are cleared and new ones drop in. Race the timer, reach the target score for every round and look for long words and bombs for big bonuses.
How to play Wordburst
- Drag through neighbouring letters to spell a word of at least three letters.
- Release to submit the word. Valid words are cleared and the letters above fall down.
- Longer words score much more.
- Reach the target score before the time runs out to move to the next round.
Tips and strategy
- Look for common endings such as ING, ED and ER.
- Plan the next word while the letters are still falling.
- Use the Show me a word button when you are stuck.
