Word Wipe

Word Wipe is a popular online word game that challenges players to find words on a grid of letter tiles. The objective is to clear the board by creating words from adjacent letters. Here’s a closer look at how it works and what makes it engaging:

Gameplay Mechanics

1. Grid Layout: The game presents a grid filled with random letters. The size of the grid can vary, but it’s typically a 10x10 or similar layout.
2. Forming Words: Players form words by connecting adjacent letters (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to spell out valid words.
3. Clearing the Board: Successfully created words are removed from the grid, which may cause new letters to fall into place, creating new opportunities for word formation.
4. Time Limit: Many versions of the game have a time limit, adding a sense of urgency to find as many words as possible within the allotted time.
