Seven letters on a wheel, one of them in the middle. Make as many words as you can that use the center letter, climb the rank ladder from Beginner to Genius, and hunt for the word that uses all seven letters. A new wheel every day, or practice with random wheels, in English or Turkish.
How to play
The wheel. The six outer letters can be used in any order and as often as you like; the center letter must appear in every word. Tap letters on the wheel or type them, then press Enter. Shuffle rearranges the outer letters to help you see new combinations.
Valid words. A word needs at least three letters and must be in the game’s list of common words. Rare words, proper nouns and abbreviations are not accepted, so you will never be penalised for not knowing an obscure term.
Scoring. Three- and four-letter words score 1 point. Longer words score one point per letter. A word that uses all seven letters scores a 7-point bonus on top. Your rank is the share of the wheel’s total points you have collected: Good at 20%, Solid at 40%, Great at 60%, Amazing at 80% and Genius when you have found everything.
Daily and practice. The daily wheel is the same for everyone on the same day (midnight UTC); practice wheels are random and can be swapped at any time. Each wheel has between 12 and 70 answers.
Finishing. Press Finish when you are done to see the words you missed, or keep going until the wheel is complete. Reaching Great or better counts as a win.
Hint. Once per wheel you can watch a short rewarded ad to see the first two letters of a word you have not found yet.
Strategy
- Start with the shortest words: every three-letter word with the center letter is a quick point, and it warms up the patterns.
- Try common prefixes and suffixes: adding -ER, -ING, -ED or -S to a word you already found often yields another.
- Look for the pangram early. It is usually a familiar seven-letter word, and it is worth more than a handful of short ones.
- Shuffle whenever you feel stuck. The same letters in a different ring look like a different puzzle.
- Repeated letters are allowed: words like “letter” or “banana” can count if the letters are on the wheel.
