Find today's longest word
S H U K U M A

Goal

A new puzzle every day. Find today's longest hidden word — then see how many more you can uncover.

How to Play

  • Tap or drag across touching letters to build a word.
  • Each letter can only be used once.
  • Tap a selected letter to deselect it and everything after it.

Extended Play

Every puzzle hides dozens of words beyond the target. Complete each group to earn tickets:

  • Longest Word — today's main challenge. Find it to earn +10
  • Hard — for the logophiles: the obscure and impressive finds — earn +5
  • Medium — a satisfying challenge for most players — earn +3
  • Easy — shorter words to warm up on — earn +2

Find all four groups in one day for a bonus +10 — up to 30 per day.

Tickets are awarded for today’s puzzle only. You can go back and keep playing past puzzles until you’ve completed them — they’re yours to finish at any time — but only today’s board earns tickets. To keep your ticket income flowing: play every day, protect your streak, and be mindful of how many you spend on streak freezes, hints, and gifts.

Easy Mode

Not feeling competitive? Easy Mode reveals all the hidden words (except the longest) so you can find them at your own pace — no pressure, no timer.

Switch it on any time from Hints. It’s free, but it’s a one-way door for that day’s puzzle.
