The Daily WordCube (as the name implies) offers a new puzzle challenge each day. Each puzzle consists of a 3×3 grid of nine letters – your goal is to create as many words as you can using only these letters. Be careful though, you must use the center letter in each word, and you cannot use any letter more than once in any given word. Targets are given for each puzzle to help gauge your performance.

Patchwords is a word game where the goal is to rearrange horizontal and vertical tiles, each with two letters on them, on a patterned grid so that all the rows and columns spell valid, everyday English-language words. It’s a simple concept that is deceptively challenging – especially on the larger boards with 13 or more tiles. Play for fun or register for free to compete against other players.
