What is Word Scramble?
Word Scramble is an anagram race. A jumble of letters appears and you rearrange them into a real word. Every word you solve grows by a letter, so the puzzles get tougher as you go.
It is one of the mini-games built into Qwiz Rush (sometimes written Quiz Rush), the free live quiz you host from a browser while players join by code on their own devices.

How to play Word Scramble
The host launches Word Scramble and each device shows a set of letters.
Rearrange the letters to spell a real word.
Submit your answer as soon as you are sure.
Solve a word and the next one is a letter longer.
Keep solving until the round ends; the highest total wins.
Host settings
- Launch it from the Mini-games drawer on the host console, between questions or on the leaderboard.
- Players join on their own devices, and the projector shows the round while it runs.
Scoring
- Each solved word scores for you.
- Longer words are harder to find, so they are worth chasing.
Tips for Word Scramble
- Look for common endings such as -ING and -ED first.
- Group vowels and consonants separately.
- If you are stuck, shuffle the letters to see them fresh.
