How to Play Word Wheels
At the start of a new game you will be presented with 8 letters randomly arranged in a circle around a central letter, something like this:
Your challenge is to find as many words as possible within the time limit bearing in mind that each answer must:
- be at least 3 letters long.
- contain the central letter in the wheel.
- be spelt correctly.
Some correct answers in this example are Rag, Rage, Age and Harp. Notice that each answer is at least 3 letters long and contains the middle letter A.
Also bear in mind that there is at least one 9 letter word in each puzzle. The 9 letter word in this example is Orphanage, however sometimes there are more than one.
There are two ways to enter your answers:
- By clicking on the letters in the wheel in the order they are spelt.
- By typing out your answers in the box provided.
The next step is to click on the Enter button or press the Enter key to submit your answer. A message on the screen will then inform you about whether you answered correctly or not. All correct answers you have given will be listed on the right-hand side of the screen in a box, along with your total number of correct answers.
After receiving your final score, you will be presented with a screen showing all of the answers and which ones you managed to find. To make it more interesting, you will be shown a statistical breakdown of your results.
You have a choice of playing a 2, 3 or 5 minute game.
