A daily word puzzle. You are given the letters of five hidden words, some wildcards, and a five by five grid. Arrange them so that every row spells a valid five letter word. There are more tiles than cells, so some are left over — you choose which.
The letters are taken from five real words, so a solution always exists — but it is rarely the highest scoring one. Each letter is worth its Scrabble value, and the shaded cells score double for the letter placed on them. A row only scores if it spells a valid five letter word. Everybody gets the same letters each day.
A wildcard (?) becomes whatever letter its row needs, and is worked out for you — it shows the letter it became, in italics. Wildcards are worth no points, so playing one instead of a letter costs you that letter's value. You may use at most one per word.
The target is the best the day's five words can score, over every way of ordering them in the grid. Beating it means finding better words than the ones the letters came from.
Select a letter, then click an empty cell to place it. Click a placed letter to send it back. Each cell shows what it contributes, doubled where the cell is shaded, and the row's total is on the right. A finished row turns green if it spells a word and red if it does not.
