What is a word hunt game?

A word hunt game asks you to find words hidden in a grid of letters. In Wordola, each letter in your path must touch the next one horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You submit a word by releasing the path, and each accepted word helps you cover the board.

The daily challenge rewards both speed and pattern recognition. Look for short words to build momentum, then extend paths into longer words for more points.

How to connect letters

  1. Start on a letter. Press or drag from the first tile in your word.
  2. Follow touching tiles. Move to a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal neighbor.
  3. Do not reuse a tile. Each tile can appear only once in the same word path.
  4. Release to submit. Wordola accepts unique words with at least three letters.
