About this game

10 Words Challenge is a word game with a fixed length. You get exactly 10 turns, and on each one you spell a word from the letters on the board by clicking them. Words can be anywhere from two letters long up to seven.

Scoring favours length. A longer word is worth more points than a short one, so a seven-letter find is the prize and a two-letter word is a fallback. Between turns, new letters are added to the board, which means the set you are working with keeps shifting and a word you spotted earlier may not be there next time. With only 10 turns there is no room for a run of short words if you want a good total. The developer presents it as a test of vocabulary and planning. The board sits in a square frame, and clicking letters is the only input given.

How to play

Look over the letters on the board. Click letters to spell a word of between two and seven letters, which scores it. New letters arrive on the board before your next turn. Repeat until you have used all 10 turns. Your final score is the total for the words you made, with longer words earning more points.

Tips

Since length decides points, spend a few seconds looking for a five, six or seven-letter word before settling for a short one. Letters change between turns, so do not count on a word staying available. If the board is poor, a short word keeps the turn moving and brings in new letters.

Good to know
