How to play PinkyWords

Search horizontally, vertically and diagonally; words may also run backwards.

Check the edges

Starting letters near an edge have fewer possible directions.

Find unusual letters

A less frequent letter stands out and makes a useful starting point.

Select in one motion

Drag from the first letter to the last along a straight line.

How do I select a word?

Hold the first letter and release on the last. Use the mouse on desktop.

Can words run backwards?

Yes. They may run either way along a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line.

Does the grid change?

Classic mode creates a new layout; the daily challenge is shared by everyone.

How to find hidden words faster

It is usually more efficient to search for the first or last letter of each target than to read every row from start to finish. When you spot a promising letter, inspect all eight directions and verify two or three characters before continuing.

PinkyWords creates a grid that works with a mouse or touch screen. All six targets remain visible in a list and are marked when found, so you always know what remains.
