A word game in a circle of letters
Seven letters sit on a wheel. Find as many words as you can hidden in them: tap, drag or type, then submit. Every wheel hides one word that uses all seven letters, worth a big bonus.
Tips for finding more words
Start with endings. Look for common endings such as -ER, -ED, -ING and -EST, then add letters in front.
Try plurals. If there is an S, many four- and five-letter words also work with S added.
Shuffle often. Seeing the letters in a new order brings new words to mind.
Hunt for the big one. Finding the seven-letter word early gives a big boost and often suggests shorter words.
Daily and unlimited
Play the daily wheel to compare with friends, then keep going with unlimited new wheels. Your best score is saved in your browser.
How to play Word Builder
1
Spell a word
Tap letters on the wheel, drag across them, or type on your keyboard. Words need at least four letters, and each wheel letter can be used once.
2
Submit it
Press Enter (or lift your finger after dragging). Valid words are added to your list and score points.
3
Score points
Four-letter words score 1 point; longer words score one point per letter. The word that uses all seven letters scores a 7-point bonus.

Climb the ranks
Your score moves you up from Beginner to Genius. Shuffle the wheel for a fresh view, and come back for a new daily wheel tomorrow.
Small, quick crosswords: a daily 5×5 and 7×7 puzzle, plus unlimited new grids.
