How to play ItWord

The goal

Enter six valid words with given start and end letters, which are derived from iterating through today's ItWord. Be a top ranking player by entering more uncommon words, making fewer mistakes and completing the game in a faster time.

Scoring

Once a valid word is entered the colour of its letter tiles will indicate how uncommon the word is.

The rarest words earn a star

A star appears if the word entered is one of the rarest words of all. Not every round has one.

Invalid and slow guesses cost points, so balance finding the least common words with accuracy and speed.

Stuck? You get one reveal per game, which fills in a valid word for that round but scores no points. (Requires a free account)
