Scrambler gives your class a 4×4 grid of letters. Find as many words as you can before the timer runs out — connect tiles that touch (including diagonally) to spell words of three letters or more, with longer words scoring more. When time’s up, Scrambler reveals every word hiding in the grid. It plays on the whiteboard, free.
How do you play Scrambler?
You get a 4×4 grid of letters. Make words by linking tiles that touch in any direction — across, down or diagonally — using each tile once per word. Words must be three letters or more, and longer words score more points.
What is a word grid game?
A word grid (or letter grid) game challenges players to find as many hidden words as they can in a square of random letters by joining neighbouring tiles. Scrambler is a free classroom version for the interactive whiteboard.
How do I find all the words in a letter grid?
Play the round, then let Scrambler check the grid — it reveals every word that can be traced through connecting tiles and highlights the ones your class already found.
Is Scrambler free?
Yes — Scrambler is free to play in your browser, built for the classroom whiteboard.
How is it scored?
Three to four letters score 1 point, five letters 2, six 3, seven 5, and eight or more 11 — so it pays to hunt for the long words.
