How to play Word Hunt
Word Hunt is a free word connect puzzle. Drag between letters on the wheel to spell words, and every correct word fills its tiles in a crossword grid. Solve all the words to finish the level.
How to play
Connect letters on the wheel
Press a letter and drag through others to spell a word, then release to submit. Each wheel letter can be used once per word.
Fill the crossword grid
Every level has a hand-picked set of answers. When you find one, its letters appear in the blank tiles, including any letters it shares with crossing words.
Shuffle when you are stuck
Tap the shuffle button to rearrange the wheel. It is always free and often makes a hidden word jump out.
Use hints wisely
The magnifying glass reveals one letter in an unsolved tile. Your first hint each level is free; after that a hint costs 5 stars.
Collect milestone gifts
Every 10 completed levels earns a gift of 25 stars. Grab it from the Collect badge on the menu screen.
Tips
- Start with the longest word you can see: it fills the most tiles and reveals crossing letters.
- Revealed letters narrow down the remaining words. Read the grid, not just the wheel.
- Shuffling is free and instant, so use it every time a level stalls.
- Short words count too: most levels include 2- and 3-letter answers.
About Word Hunt
Word Hunt is a word connect puzzle in the tradition of crossword-style word games: a wheel of letters on one side, a grid of blank tiles on the other, and a curated set of answers linking the two. Spell a word by dragging through letters on the wheel, and if it is one of the level's answers it locks into the grid, crossing and completing other words as you go.
Every Word Hunt level on 100 Daily Games is hand-crafted rather than generated, so each puzzle has a deliberate difficulty curve: early levels teach the basics with three-letter wheels, while later levels mix five- and six-letter wheels with interlocking grids that reward spotting anagram patterns.
Word Hunt is free to play in your browser on desktop and mobile, with no download required. Progress saves automatically on your device, a hint system helps when a word will not come, and milestone gifts of stars reward consistent play across the level map.
