Word Scramble: goal and players
Play Word Scramble online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- 2 to 8 players, everyone at once. Each round everyone gets the same word with its letters mixed up, and its topic.
- Tap the tiles in the right order to spell it, or drag them into place. Tap a placed tile to put it back. Once every slot is full the word is tried; a wrong order costs only time.
- First to spell it scores 5, second 3, anyone else 2. Halfway through the round the first letter is shown.
- Once someone spells it, the others have 10 seconds; no points for anyone without it by then. The round ends when everyone has it, when those 10 seconds run out, or after 40 seconds. Most points after the last word wins.

History & origins
Word Scramble uses the long-established anagram idea: rearranging a fixed group of letters into a word.
Anagrams moved from wordplay and printed puzzles into many computer and phone games, with no single inventor for every scrambling format.
Jawna gives competitors the same mixed letters and measures who solves them first. Its race is a digital presentation of that shared word-puzzle tradition.
