About the Game

Part crossword, part battleship, part game show. Word x Word pits two contestants against one another in a battle of word-hunting wits! Whoever earns the most points across three rounds wins the game.



Search your board for blank letter tiles, vowels, points, and other goodies. When you think you've revealed enough blank tiles to form a few words, start spinning to pick letters, and rack up points!



Both players are racing to find the word (or short phrase) that's the common link between all the words on their boards. Your boards contain the same words, so don't forget to watch your opponent for even more clues!



The first player to guess the word wins the round!



Word x Word contains hundreds of puzzles, with variations to keep you thinking for thousands of games!
