About Word Whomp

Word Whomp is an exciting timed word game that challenges you to create as many words as possible from a set of 6 letters before the clock runs out. It's a test of vocabulary, quick thinking, and pattern recognition.

The game rewards longer words with significantly higher scores - a 6-letter word is worth more than fourteen 3-letter words! This creates strategic tension between quickly banking short words versus hunting for longer, higher-scoring combinations.

This browser version features multiple letter sets, a helpful shuffle feature, and at the end shows you the words you missed. Perfect for building vocabulary and improving word recognition speed!

Tips & Strategies

  • Start with common 3-letter words to build your score quickly
  • Look for word patterns - adding S, ED, ER, or ING to existing words
  • Prioritize longer words when you spot them - they're worth much more!
  • Use shuffle frequently - seeing letters in a new order helps spot words
  • Don't spend too long on one word - move on and come back later
