Word Tiles is a multiplayer crossword tile game in the style of Scrabble that you play online with 2 to 4 people. Everyone holds seven letter tiles, takes turns building words that cross on a shared board, and scores points for every word they make.

Play Word Tiles online together.

Choose a Quick game on an 11 by 11 board with 50 tiles, about 15 minutes with three players, or the Standard game on a 15 by 15 board with 100 tiles. Words are checked against a built in word list, or the players can vote on them instead, and an optional timer keeps turns moving.

It runs on a shared MockFlow board, so the game sits right next to your work. Each player plays from their own screen, only you see your tiles, and the board and scores stay in sync for everyone.

  • Quick or full length games. The Quick game fits a short break with a smaller board and bag, while Standard gives the full length game with a 15 by 15 board and 100 tiles.
  • Bonus squares and big plays. Double and triple letter and word squares boost a move on the turn you cover them, cross words score too, and using all seven tiles in one turn earns 50 extra points.
  • Words checked for you. With Dictionary on, every word is checked against a list of about 168,000 English words when you press Play. A word that is not in the list is named, and your tiles stay put so you can try again.
  • Players vote option. Switch to Players vote and the others accept or challenge each word. A challenged word goes back to the player with no points, and a word nobody votes on is accepted after 30 seconds.
  • Turn timer. Set 1 or 2 minutes per turn and a countdown shows whose move it is. When time runs out, the turn passes to the next player.
  • Live score preview. See the points and the words a move makes before you commit, with a plain message when tiles are placed in a way the rules do not allow.
  • Built for people who are away. A player can leave the game from the menu, and the others can remove someone who has stepped away, so the game carries on without them.
  • Clear help for new players. How to play walks a first time player through a turn step by step, explains how points work with a worked example, and covers how the game ends.

How to play Word Tiles.

1

Take a seat

Each player presses Join. Up to four people can sit at the table, and anyone else on the board can watch. You can also start on your own to practise.

2

Pick the game

Choose Quick or Standard, a time per turn of no limit, 1 minute or 2 minutes, and Dictionary or Players vote for checking words. Then press Start game.

3

Make a word

On your turn, drag tiles from your rack onto the board, or click a tile and then a square. Place them in one line, across or down, with no gaps. The first word covers the star in the middle, and every word after that joins tiles already on the board.

4

Check the points and play

The points for your move show on the board as you place tiles, along with every word it makes. Press Play to score them and draw new tiles from the bag, or Recall to take your tiles back.

5

Swap or pass when stuck

Swap returns tiles you do not want to the bag for new ones while at least seven tiles are left, and Pass skips your turn. Either one ends your turn with no score.

6

Finish the game

The game ends when the bag is empty and someone uses their last tile, or after six turns in a row with no score, eight with four players. Tiles left on a rack count against that player, the player who went out gets those points, and the highest score wins. Rematch starts a new game with the same players.

Questions about Word Tiles.

How many people can play Word Tiles online?
2 to 4 players can sit at the table, each on their own screen. One person can also start a game alone to practise. Other people on the board can watch.
Is Word Tiles like Scrabble?
Yes. If you know Scrabble, you already know how to play: seven letter tiles, words that cross on a board, letter points, double and triple squares and 50 extra points for using all seven tiles. Word Tiles has its own board layout and adds a Quick game on a smaller board that takes about 15 minutes. Word Tiles is not affiliated with Scrabble, which is a trademark of its owners.
How long does a game take?
A Quick game on the 11 by 11 board takes about 15 minutes with three players. The Standard game on the 15 by 15 board takes about 45 minutes. A time limit per turn of 1 or 2 minutes keeps it moving.
How are words checked?
With Dictionary on, each word is checked against a built in list of about 168,000 English words when you press Play. With Players vote on, the other players accept or challenge each word instead.
Can other players see my tiles?
No. Your rack only shows on your screen. Everyone sees the board, the scores and the list of moves.
What happens if a player leaves in the middle of a game?
With a turn timer on, their turn passes when time runs out. Anyone in the game can also remove a player who has stepped away from the menu, and the game carries on with the others.
How do I add Word Tiles to my board?
Press Use on a board on this page to open a new MockFlow board with the game on it, or add it to an existing board from Add anything, the plus button in the bottom toolbar, then Artifacts. Adding it uses no AI credits.
Which plans include it?
Artifacts are included on the Plus and Max plans. Anyone can sign up for free and start a board.
