What are the rules of Lettergrams?

Three rules apply: use all the tiles in your rack, every word must be valid, and all words on the board must connect to each other. Invalid words show as red tiles, and disconnected words are flagged.

Can I change my board before submitting?

Yes — you can tap any tile to send it back to the rack, use a three-finger swipe down to clear the whole board, and keep revising until you tap ALL DONE to save your score.

Does Lettergrams track my progress?

Yes. It tracks your current streak, best streak, games played, total stars, and a score distribution across the 1–5 star ratings.

Is Lettergrams open source?

No. It is a Waffle Studio game, with copyright reserved by Waffle Studio Ltd.

Lettergrams — Clear the rack to complete today's word quest

Lettergrams is a free daily word game from Waffle Studio, available on Puzzlist.com alongside other puzzles like Waffle, OneWordSearch, and Stackdown. Each day players get a rack of letter tiles with point values and must place all of them on a board to form valid, interconnected words, aiming for the highest possible score. Bonus squares (letter and word multipliers) add scoring depth, and performance is rated on a 1–5 star scale with streaks and statistics tracked over time.

Key Features

Daily puzzle format

One new Lettergrams board is released every day, with a 'Daily Board' dated puzzle as the core game mode.

Rack-clearing tile placement

Players must use every tile in their rack to build valid words on the board, with each word connected to at least one other word, similar to Scrabble-style tile laying.

Bonus scoring tiles

The board includes letter bonuses (DL doubles one letter, TL triples one letter) and word bonuses (DW doubles a word's score, TW triples it).

Validation and feedback

Invalid words are flagged with red tiles, and disconnected words are identified so players can see what needs fixing.

Star rating and scoring

Performance is graded from 1 to 5 stars, with a score distribution chart showing how your results compare.

Streaks and statistics

The game tracks current streak, best streak, games played, total stars earned, and per-star score distribution.

Revise before submitting

Players can return to the board ('Keep playing') to rearrange tiles and improve their score before tapping ALL DONE to save it; a three-finger swipe down resets the whole board.

Touch-first controls

Tap a tile on the board to send it back to the rack, with swipe gestures supported, indicating mobile-friendly play.

How It Works

Build connected words from your rack

You receive a rack of letter tiles and drag/tap them onto the board to form valid words that all connect to each other, using bonus squares (DL, TL, DW, TW) to maximize points.

Iterate, then submit

You can rearrange tiles indefinitely — tapping a board tile returns it to the rack, and a three-finger swipe down clears the board — until you're happy with your score, then tap ALL DONE to save it and earn a star rating.
