Whizz Wordz game info
Gameplay
Whizz Wordz is a fast-paced word game where the goal is to score as many points as possible across eight rounds.
Each round lasts two minutes, during which players must create words from a set of 16 random letters. Words must be at least three letters long and are submitted by clicking the "Enter" button. Invalid words will be rejected.
At the end of each round, as in Yahtzee, players select one category to score points. Each category can only be used once per game.
Categories
These categories can be chosen at the end of a round:
- 3: Three-letter words score 5 points each.
- 4: Four-letter words score 10 points each.
- 5: Five-letter words score 20 points each.
- 6+: Words of six or more letters score 50 points each.
- Straight: At least one three-, four-, and five-letter word, with additional points for longer words.
- Slam: Use all 16 letters at least once in a round.
- 20+: Make 20 or more words in a single round.
- Count: Score 5 points for every word, regardless of length.
Scoring
At the end of each round, players must select one category to score based on their performance in that round. Each category can only be used once per game. A bonus of 200 points is awarded for creating an eight-letter word in any round. Choosing the right category for your word set is key to maximizing your score.
Controls
Click letters to form words and click them again to remove them. Submit words by clicking the "Enter" button. To start a new round, click the "New Letters" button to generate 16 new letters.

Tips and Tricks
- Look at the letters you are dealt, and decide which category you are going to focus on.
- When you are dealt bad letters, you can probably still aim for the three-letter word category or try to use all letters and go for the Slam category.
- Don’t forget the bonus for eight-letter words—it can significantly boost your score.
