Overview & Capabilities

Challenge your spelling, vocabulary, and pattern recognition skills in Word Wipe, a fast-paced word puzzle game! Connect adjacent letters in any direction—horizontal, vertical, diagonal—to form valid words. Each word you wipe clears the letters, causing the grid to collapse and drop letters down. Clear complete rows or columns for huge score bonuses before the 5-minute timer runs out!

Tutorial

How to Use

01
Find valid English dictionary words of at least 3 letters in the letter grid.

03
Mobile/Touch: Tap letters one-by-one, then tap the last letter again to confirm and wipe.

When a word is successfully wiped, the letters disappear, and gravity causes the columns to drop down.

Clear entire rows or columns to score mega bonuses (10 pts per row, 25 pts per column).
06
Beat the clock! You have 5 minutes (300 seconds) to find words and maximize your score.

💡
Focus on clearing the bottom rows first, as this collapses the board and sets up new combinations.
💡
Wipe longer words (4+ letters) to score extra length bonuses.
💡
Keep an eye on columns that are close to being cleared—removing the final letters yields 25 bonus points.
💡
Don't hesitate! The 5-minute timer runs continuously, so wipe short words quickly if you can't find long ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How do I play the Word Wipe game online?

Look at the letter grid, find valid English words of 3 or more letters, and select them by clicking and dragging (or touch dragging) over adjacent letters, or tapping letters one by one and tapping the last letter again to confirm.

Q What happens when no more words can be formed in the grid?

In line with standard practice, our game automatically detects when no valid words of length 3-5 can be formed from the remaining letters. It displays a notification and shuffles the remaining letters so that you can continue playing.
