Thirty words with their letters shuffled. The definition is the hint, so the game is a vocabulary test wearing an anagram as a disguise.
Word scramble is a free anagram game with 30 rounds: each puzzle shuffles the letters of one English word and gives you its dictionary definition as the clue. Every answer is a single word of 4 to 8 letters drawn from the 1,461 words in AltF Lexicon that are common enough for a general reader, and solving one opens its full entry.
Rearrange the letters into the word the definition describes.
Definition
personnel who assist their superior in carrying out an assigned task
Read the definition. It belongs to the word whose letters are shuffled above it.
Build the answer by tapping the letter tiles, or type it straight into the box — both write to the same field, so you can switch mid-word.
Press Check. A wrong guess costs nothing but the streak you were building; you can keep trying the same word for as long as you like.
Stuck? Reveal shows the answer. That round stops counting towards your score, and the streak resets.
Every solved word links to its full entry, with the pronunciation, all of its senses and its synonyms.
The whole game is in the page you already downloaded. There is no timer, no lives and no request to a server between rounds, so it works exactly the same on a slow connection as on a fast one.
Candidates are every entry in the 5 everyday collections that is a single unhyphenated word of 4 to 8 letters, sits in commonness band 3 to 5 (familiar, common, core), has a definition short enough to read at a glance, and has a definition that does not contain the answer. 1,461 words clear all four tests.
The 30 that become rounds are the 30 whose slugs hash lowest — a fixed, reproducible draw rather than a random sample. The letter order inside each puzzle is a seeded shuffle of the same slug, retried until it differs from the word itself.
The words, definitions and semantic fields in this game come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Commonness bands are measured against a corpus of everyday English. Full sources and licences.
