01

1. Swipe a word on the wheel

Touch the first letter, drag through the rest in order, and let go. You can start anywhere on the wheel and change direction as often as you like.

A right answer fills its spot in the grid. Other real words count as bonus finds and earn you coins.

2. Use the grid to crack the rest

Where answers cross, you get free letters for the words you haven't found yet. Look at where they sit, try common endings, and give the wheel a fresh look before reaching for a hint.

Hints reveal one letter at a time. Just enough to get your brain going again, not enough to spoil the win.

3. Come back for more

Every day brings a new daily puzzle and a riddle with coins for solving them. Keep your streak going, and a streak shield will cover you on busy days.

Collect word cards, fill your season pass, and when you feel like it, peek at Crick's Word Bank to see every word you've found.

FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers before your first swipe.

Can I spell a word in any direction on the wheel?

Yes. Start on whichever letter the word begins with and move around the wheel in any order, changing direction as often as you like.

Is there a time limit?

Not in Word Wheel. Only Beat the Clock uses a timer: you start with 60 seconds and every word you find adds 3 more.

What are coins for?

Coins buy hints. You earn them by playing, finding bonus words and solving the daily puzzle and riddle, and you can top up with an optional short ad or a coin pack.
