About the game

Ten letter tiles, one minute, every word counts. Spell as many words as you can before the clock stops - then watch them all turn over at once.

Quillrack deals you ten letter tiles and starts a clock. Tap tiles to spell a word and enter it, then keep going: another word, and another, as fast as you can find them.

Nothing is checked while you play. Every word you enter lies face down until the clock stops, and only then does the rack turn over - each word scoring its letters, the longest possible word revealed in gold on the tiles, and every guess that was not really a word costing you points. The shorter the guess, the more it costs.

Match the longest word the rack allows and your score doubles. Finish a round having found nothing at all and it costs you one of your three lives - though the next rack will be a kinder one.

Build your own rack in the Rack Editor, or reshape the whole game in Game Rules: round length, lives, one round or endless, who picks the letters, how the letters are drawn, which word list to play against, and whether words are checked at the end or the moment you enter them.

Plays entirely offline. No adverts, no purchases, no accounts, no data collected.

How to play

  1. Every round deals a rack of ten letter tiles and starts the clock. Tap tiles to spell a word, then Enter it.
  2. Each tile is worth 1 to 5 points. A word scores the sum of its tiles — and doubles if it is as long as the best word the rack allows.
  3. Your words stay face down until the clock runs out. A word that is not in the list costs you points, and the shorter it is the more it costs.
  4. Finish a round with no valid word and you lose a life. Lose all three and the run ends. Change it in Game Rules.
