Type a letter, click on a letter, or for those on a phone or tablet, touch a letter. The letter will be appended to the list of letters used to form a word. Letters can only be used once for each answer.
If you make a mistake, click UNDO or use the backspace key. The last letter typed will be removed. If you want to delete all the letters, just click ADD, there is no penalty for wrong answers.
When you believe the letters you've typed make a word, click ADD or press enter. The score for your answer will be displayed above the playing area. There are two ADD buttons, they both do the same thing. Click either one.
It is possible, and quite handy, to reuse letters to form a new word. Click REDO instead of ADD to use the current letters and leave them on the board to be used again. If there are no current letters, the last set of letters will be shown in the answer area. You can UNDO or append to reused letters. When typing, you can type a period (.) to redo the last set of letters.
If you get stuck, try shuffling the letters. Click the twist button or type a space to shuffle letters.
The clock can be stopped and you can take as long as you'd like to solve the puzzle. If you take longer than 2 minutes your score will not be eligible for the high score list. If the clock is restarted it will catch-up with the amount of time that has elapsed since the start of the game. If more than 2 minutes has passed the puzzle will be solved.
If you want to start a new puzzle before the current puzzle finishes, click NEW. Alternatively, you can refresh the page.
To submit your answers without waiting for the timer to expire, click SOLVE.

TIPS & TRICKS TO WIN AT TEXT TWIST
There are several tricks that you can use in order to win at Text Twist. These tips and tricks can help you beat the clock and impress your family and friends with amazing high scores.
- Use the Text Twist Dictionary. Unlike the Scrabble Dictionary, the Text Twist dictionary is more flexible with the words allowed in game play. Memorize the obscure two-letter words to get even faster at Text Twist.
- Pluralize the words. Add an ‘s’ or ‘es’ to a word when the letters are available. If you can create the word in singular form then you can most likely make it plural too.
- Shuffle the letters. You can shuffle the letters as many times as you want. It will not impact your score. The only negative is that it may take away valuable seconds.
- Watch for doubles. When trying to solve the six letter word, finding a double ‘tt’ or a double ‘dd’ can be a huge help in solving the puzzle. Many times the double letters are placed in the middle of the word.
- Choose which words to solve first. Some Text Twist players like to solve the easy three letter words first. Others like to knock out the six letter word first. If you are just starting out, test each method and see what works best for you. There is no perfect strategy, but certain players are successful solving the puzzle using the same method over and over. Practice makes perfect.
- Don’t stress. Text Twist is meant to be fun. Relax and don’t stress about the timer counting down. The stronger players tend to remain calm and are able to focus on forming the right words in order to win. If you are stressed out and worried about the timer, you won’t be able to focus on solving the Text Twist puzzle.
- Use the Text Twist Solver. Beat the clock with the Text Twist Solver. The Solver will make words using the Dictionary to find all of the possible combinations from your letters.
