How do I play Glyphs?
Find as many words as you can on a 5 by 5 letter grid in two minutes. Drag across neighboring letters to spell a word, then lift your finger to submit it.

Spelling a word
- Put your finger on a letter.
- Drag through neighboring letters. Up, down, sideways and diagonal all count.
- Lift your finger to submit.
A green flash means the word counts. Red means it does not.
Word rules
- At least three letters
- Each tile can be used only once per word
- The same word only scores once for you
- Words from our English dictionary. No proper nouns, abbreviations or slang.
The clock
You have two minutes. Every player in the tournament gets the same grid, and other players finding the same words never lowers your score.
