How the score works
You get two scores: a length score for your longest word against the longest one possible, and a letter score for your five words together. Long words win both, so aim long from the first go.
- Add common endings: ION, ATION, ITY, NESS and MENT.
- Add common beginnings: RE, UN, IN, OVER and COUNTER.
- Put the starter in the middle of the word, not only at the start.
- Use the Warm up round to try ideas before the daily game.
Wordiply is free in the browser and the Guardian app. If you like it, Waffle and Spelling Bee are good word games to pair it with.
Before you start Wordiply
- Put the starter word in the middle. Words with letters on both sides are usually longer.
- Think of long endings like ATION, ABLE or MENT, then see if the starter fits inside.
- Use every go. Even short words add to your letter score.
