Bonus words of 4 or more letters score extra points. Only the three answers finish the dig.
Bonus finds: 0 words · 0 points
How bonus finds work
Only words accepted by the game’s bonus vocabulary count; some dictionary words do not. The game checks each path when online. Offline attempts before the third answer are saved for checking after you reconnect. Build a word of 4 or more letters through touching tiles. After the third answer, choose Keep digging to reopen the board for bonus words. Diagonals count, and you can’t reuse a tile in the same word.
Points by length: 4 letters = 1; 5 = 2; 6 = 3; 7 = 5; 8+ = 11.
Each bonus word counts once. Bonus points appear in your share result, and bonus finds count toward bonus-word badges. Only the three answers finish the dig.

Stuck? Get a hint2 free / word
Each hidden word has its own clue, then its length, then up to two free starting letters, one at a time. More letters are optional and use your Plus monthly allowance or letter credits. Hinted tiles use the color of their word's clue and are numbered in route order; shared tiles show each word's marker. Choose a hint button to reveal help. Keyboard: Tab to a hint button, then press Enter or Space. Clues and letters affect Clean Sweep only; other rewards still count. The length is free and does not affect Clean Sweep.
Tap or click adjacent letters in order to spell any of the three clue answers. Words are read in the order you trace them. Paths can zigzag (diagonals count); a tile can be shared across answers but used once per path. Find other accepted words for bonus points, before or after your third answer. In NVDA, press NVDA+Space to switch to Focus mode so the arrow keys control the board.
Follow touching letters in order. The route can turn and move diagonally.
Example: B, E, N, D. Start at the upper left, move right, then diagonally down-right and diagonally down-left. Each letter touches the previous one.
How to play
- Read the clueThree related answers fit it, each at least four letters long.
- Trace touching lettersTap or swipe tiles to spell words read in the order you trace them. Diagonals count, and two words can share a tile. Tap a chosen tile to take it and the ones after it back.
- Find one, or all threeOne answer completes a quick dig; all three complete the full dig and open each word's story. Other words of 4 letters or more are bonus finds, once each: 1 point for 4 letters, 2 for 5, 3 for 6, 5 for 7 and 11 for 8 or more.
- Stuck? Use a hintEach word's hints come one step at a time: a clue for that word, its length, then its letters. Two letters are free, and every puzzle can be finished without paying.
- Collect the week's lettersEach day you finish uncovers one letter. Finish all seven days, then arrange the letters to solve Sunday's finale. Missed days stay open in the archive.
Keyboard: Tab visits every letter. Arrows move up, down, left, or right; Shift+↑ moves ↖, Shift+→ moves ↗, Shift+↓ moves ↘, and Shift+← moves ↙. Space or Enter activates the focused tile; Backspace removes the last letter; Escape clears the path.
NVDA: Press NVDA+Space to switch to Focus mode so the arrow keys control the board.
Today's relic: one tile glows softly. A bonus word of 7 or more letters that passes through it unearths the day's relic, a keepsake for your Relics shelf. It is just for fun and the same tile for everyone.
Bonus finds are checked against the game’s own word list; some dictionary words do not count. The game checks each path when online. Offline attempts are saved for checking after you reconnect.

Badge cabinetFinds, wordcraft, weekly achievements, and invites 0/40 badges · 0/7 ranks
Archive puzzles count, missed days never erase progress, and release-day badges count a full dig on its release date (UTC) without requiring a streak. Seven ranks keep growing with no top tier; each counts the work you do, not a daily streak. Epic badges appear once you are on their path and count only boards finished on their release date. Invite badges count new players once they finish boards on two different days, and friend badges count players who follow you back.
