Word Cubes Goal - Find as many words as you can, connecting letters across the surface of the ever-changing pile of cubes.
Create words of three or more letters. Each letter must touch the face of the previous letter, either edge-to-edge or corner to corner. Your words can wrap around the side of the pile. No letter can be used more than once in a given word.
In Free tournament games, when you select a letter, all letters representing legal moves will turn blue, to help you learn how letters connect. This highlighting will not appear in Money tournament games. Each time you use a letter, it will turn a deeper shade of red. When you use a letter for the fourth time, the cube that contains that letter will be removed, and new letters will be exposed behind it. A cube icon will appear next to that word in your word list, to show that the word resulted in the removal of a cube.
You can also remove any cube manually. Note, however, that you get points for removing cubes automatically (by using one of that cube’s letters for the fourth time) but you get no points for removing cubes manually. There are two variations, one with a pile of 27 word cubes, and one with a pile of 18 cubes. The time limits are four and a half minutes for the larger pile, and three minutes for the smaller pile. The game ends when time runs out, or when all cubes have been removed. At the conclusion of the game, the words in your word list are checked against our official dictionary of legal words. Any illegal words are crossed out and do not count toward your final scoring. If an illegal word resulted in the removal of a cube, you will also lose the points for the cube removal.
