ABOUT THIS GAME

Word Rave (img)

A word game unlike any other–one that combines crosswords with setup and payoff gameplay

Rotating into Scoring (gif)

In Word Rave, you’ll clear out bad letters on a dynamic 3x3 to 6x6 grid while rotating the board until you can form a set of words like making a big crossword. Once you're happy with the lit-up words, you’ll get to clear them in a satisfying “pop” that rewards you for bigger and more words

As you play, Stops will often clog up your board. Include them in a word that matches the board rules so they light up, then pop them away!

Bombs will be your mini-bosses, always trying to end your game early. They’re like Stops that need to be dealt with within a certain number of pops before they explode!

You may want to spend some time setting up for a big pop or just to get rid of that annoying bomb. Sometimes it’s better to not score right away…

…when you’re patient, you can score big! And with Stars in the mix, you’ll be scoring more often for even more points!

Test your speed and skill with a 3-minute timer as you race to form and pop words for the highest score. The clock is ticking, and the challenge escalates as you try to chain combos and avoid bombs that can end your run early. Can you rack up the highest score before your time is up?

Playing Chill Mode (gif) or a Chill Mode banner (img)

Take your time and play at your own pace in this relaxing yet strategically challenging mode. You’ll need to clear words such that you safely defuse bombs while the difficulty slowly ramps up. Failing to pop a bomb will lose you a heart, so try not to run out!
