The Games Hub
The word games page lists every game with its current availability. Each offers a Daily round — the same puzzle for everyone that day, ranked on a leaderboard — and unlimited Practice rounds that do not affect your score.

Scoring, Streaks, and Hints
Playing every day builds a streak, and the leaderboard ranks the day's results. Hints are available when you are stuck, at a cost to your score. Achievements unlock as you play. Games run in English, French, and Arabic, each with its own word lists.
Words From Your Books
Many puzzles draw their vocabulary from the books you can read, so playing doubles as revision. Bank unusual words during play to earn a bonus book.
Word Arena
The Arena is the same games in a three-dimensional setting: games become boards in a neon coliseum, with a camera you can move around. Use the game picker, the leaderboard, the world view, and the in-arena help. Open it from the games hub or from More in the mobile app.
From the Reader
A games launcher sits in the reader toolbar, so you can take a break without losing your place.
Guests
You can play without an account, but scores, streaks, and achievements are only saved once you sign in.
