About Ruzzle

Ruzzle is an exciting fast-paced word game that tests your vocabulary and quick thinking. On a 4x4 grid of letters, your goal is to find as many words as possible within the time limit by connecting adjacent letters.

What makes Ruzzle special is its bonus system - some tiles offer letter multipliers (double or triple the points for that letter) while others offer word multipliers that boost your entire word's score. Strategic players learn to build words through these bonus tiles for maximum points!

This browser version captures all the excitement of the original game with smooth touch controls, beautiful graphics, and responsive gameplay. Challenge yourself to beat your high score!

How to Play Ruzzle

1

Connect Letters

Click on adjacent letters to form words. Each letter must touch the previous one (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).

2

Use Bonus Tiles

Watch for colored rings! Blue rings multiply letter points, red rings multiply the whole word's score.

3

Submit Words

Click Submit when you've formed a valid word. Minimum 2 letters, longer words earn bonus points!

4

Beat the Clock

You have 2 minutes! Find as many words as possible before time runs out.

Tips & Strategies

  • •Start with short words to build momentum, then look for longer ones
  • •Prioritize bonus tiles - a word through TW (triple word) is worth 3x points!
  • •Look for common prefixes and suffixes (UN-, RE-, -ING, -ED)
  • •Don't overthink - quick short words add up faster than hunting for one long word
  • •Remember: diagonal connections count! Check all 8 directions from each letter
