Objective: Connect letter tiles to form words (unscramble words) to score points and manage your turns wisely.

How to Select a Word:

Touch or click the first letter of the word, then drag through each letter in order and release to complete the word. Tutorial for selecting words

Rules:

• You start with 7 turns (maximum of 50 total turns)
• Connect letter tiles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
• Words must be at least 2 letters long.

Gaining & Losing Turns:

• Words with 4 letters or less: Lose 1 turn
• Words with 5 letters: Gain 1 turn
• Words with 6 letters: Gain 2 turns
• Words with 7 letters: Gain 3 turns
• Longer words earn more turns!

The game ends when you run out of turns.

The Scoring System

Scoring in Unscrabbled is based on two factors:

• Average Word Value (AWV)
• Word Length Multiplier

AWV is calculated by adding the Scrabble values of each letter in the word and dividing by the number of letters in that word.

Example 1: TOO
T:1 + O:1 + O:1 = 3 → 3 ÷ 3 letters = AWV = 1.0

Example 2: ZOO
Z:10 + O:1 + O:1 = 12 → 12 ÷ 3 letters = AWV = 4.0

Once you calculate the AWV, it is multiplied by the base score based on word length. We use an exponential scoring system to reward longer words more heavily:

Word Length	Base Score	Example	AWV	Final Score
3	8	TOO (T:1, O:1, O:1)	1.0	8 × 1 = 8
3	8	ZOO (Z:10, O:1, O:1)	4.0	8 × 4 = 32
6	128	LASERS	1.0	128 × 1 = 128
6	128	SHAMES (S:1, H:4, A:1, M:3, E:1, S:1)	1.83	128 × 1.83 = 235
6 (Sq)	128	SHAMES (starts and ends with same S)	1.83	235 × 2 = 470
13	16,384	PHOTORECEPTOR (Total Letter Value: 22)	22 ÷ 13 = 1.69	16,384 × 1.69 = 27,727

Word Length Base Scores

• 2 letters: 4 points
• 3 letters: 8 points
• 4 letters: 32 points
• 5 letters: 64 points
• 6 letters: 128 points
• 7 letters: 256 points
• 8 letters: 512 points
• 9 letters: 1,024 points
• 10 letters: 2,048 points
• 11 letters: 4,096 points
• 12 letters: 8,192 points
• 13 letters: 16,384 points
• ...and so on (each length doubles the previous base score)

Tip: Words that begin and end with the same letter (forming a square) score double. Flounder discovered a bug in a square-testing feature and scored 69,742 points using it. The bug has been fixed, but the feature will remain in the game as a legitimate technique.
