Wordament

Real-time competitive Boggle — find words in a 4×4 tile grid while racing thousands of players.

Wordament, developed by Microsoft, is a real-time competitive word search game. Players worldwide all play the same 4×4 letter grid simultaneously for two and a half minutes, swiping to form words by connecting adjacent tiles. At the end of the round scores are compared globally. Special tiles add complexity — "TH" digraph tiles count as a single letter pair, and "Any" wildcard tiles can become any letter.

Scoring

  • Words score based on length — longer words earn more points.
  • Rare words found by fewer players receive a "rarity bonus" multiplier, making obscure long words extremely valuable.
  • Theme words (displayed before each round) score double — knowing the theme helps you target specific vocabulary.
  • Speed matters: finding the same word faster than other players doesn't score more, but finding more unique words does.

Strategy tips

  • Spend the 10-second preview period before the timer starts mapping out the grid — identify high-value clusters (common prefixes, suffix chains) before you begin swiping.
  • Prioritise 6+ letter words. Almost everyone finds the 3 and 4 letter words — rarity bonuses concentrate in longer, less obvious words.
  • Systematic swiping beats random exploration. Work through the grid row by row, checking every possible direction from each tile.
  • Theme words are worth double — if the theme is "Animals", words like STOAT, VIPER, or HERON are worth hunting even if they're hard to spot.
