Play WordSnap

What is WordSnap?

WordSnap is a fast mobile-first word game where you build words from single letters and short letter-cluster tiles across solo, daily, and turn-based challenge modes.

Is WordSnap free to play?

Yes. WordSnap is completely free to play.

How long is a Quick Play round?

A Quick Play round lasts exactly 60 seconds.

What is Daily Inferno?

Daily Inferno is WordSnap's once-a-day 60-second challenge. Everyone gets the same board. Use a tile once to warm it and again to ignite it; ignite all 16 positions to reach Full Inferno.

What is Snap Duel?

Snap Duel is a 3-round, turn-based friend challenge. Players complete Classic Snap, Double Trouble (doubled tile/word values), and Triple Threat (tripled tile/word values) rounds starting from the same seeded conditions, with scores revealing after both players finish each round.

What are Daily Missions?

Daily Missions are separate Quick Play goals that change each day. Quick Play results advance them; completing a Daily Mission does not determine your Activity Streak.

How does Activity Streak work?

Activity Streak tracks qualifying play on your local calendar day. Complete a Quick Play round, a Snap Duel round, or Daily Inferno to count the day. If you miss one day, play the following day to save your streak. Daily Missions are separate.

Are 2-letter words supported in WordSnap?

Quick Play supports a curated dictionary of valid 2-letter words. Daily Inferno requires words with 3 or more letters.

How do Quick Play length bonuses work?

In Quick Play, words receive points from their tile values plus a length bonus: 4-letter words earn +1, and every additional letter adds another +2 with no cap (0 points for 2–3 letters, +1 for 4, +3 for 5, +5 for 6, +7 for 7, +9 for 8, +11 for 9, and continuing +2 per extra letter).

What are letter-cluster tiles?

A cluster tile contains a short letter group such as TH, ER, IN, QU, CH, SH, RE, or OR. One tap adds the entire cluster to your word, and its letters count fully toward length bonuses.

Why do tiles refill during Quick Play?

Whenever a word is accepted during Quick Play, its tiles leave the board and fresh replacement tiles refill those spaces instantly. The board stays active throughout the 60-second round.

Is there a penalty for an invalid word?

No. An invalid word scores 0 points and does not subtract points. Use Clear to deselect tiles and try another combination immediately.

Can I play WordSnap as a guest?

Yes. Guest play is fully supported, and your local best score saves on your device. Google sign-in is optional and lets you preserve progress across devices.

How do Quick Play leaderboards work?

Accepted official Quick Play scores automatically qualify for Today, This Week, and All-Time global leaderboards.

Are push notifications required?

No. Push notifications for turn updates, duel results, and reminders are strictly opt-in and can be managed in WordSnap or system settings at any time.

Why was a word rejected and how do I report it?

A word may be missing from WordSnap's dictionary or explicitly excluded. After a rejection, tap the in-game missing-word report option to submit it for dictionary review.

Can I play WordSnap on Android or mobile web?

Yes. WordSnap runs smoothly in web browsers as a PWA and is available on Android through Google Play.

Where can I find strategy tips to score higher?
