WELCOME TO THE BEACH
Tap your seven letters in any order to make a 3–7-letter word, then press Enter word. Each tile can be used once per word. Tap a selected letter to remove it, or a letter in your entry to undo it.
Drag the crabs to rearrange their letters. Keyboard players can focus a letter and use Alt + left/right arrow. Shuffle gives you a fresh perspective.
Other words in our dictionary are bonus treasures. Find every required word for 10,000 extra points and a coin bonus. Tap found or revealed words for their definitions.
Words earn 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1,600 points for 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 letters, and 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 coins. Completing Easy / Normal / Hard earns 25 / 50 / 100 extra coins. Free words earn no word points or word coins.
Replays pay the improvement over your previous highest coin reward for that puzzle, difficulty and pace. Your best scores, stars and finished rounds stay in your beach journal.
One first-letter peek and one free word are available per round. Complete without hints for 3 stars, with one hint for 2, or both for 1. Relaxed has no clock; the 2-minute dash keeps running while you’re away or reading a dialog.
If you’re resuming an older save, its original word grid is preserved. New rounds use the difficulty you choose. Audio starts after your first tap and can be adjusted separately in settings.
