Word Grid Practice

About Word Grid practice mode

Word Grid is a free Utilnivo browser puzzle on a 4×4 letter board. Connect adjacent letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to discover words of 4–8 letters and build your score. No account is required—progress stays on this device.

Practice mode generates unlimited validated boards and never changes your daily streak.

How to play

Press and drag (or tap sequentially) across adjacent tiles to spell a word.
Submit when the path is complete. Invalid paths or unknown words are rejected.
Watch your score and milestone markers update as longer words land.
Use a hint sparingly if you are stuck—hints cost 2 points each.

Worked scoring examples

Finding CARE (4 letters) adds 1 point.
Finding TRACE (5 letters) adds 2 points.
Finding CREATES (7 letters) adds 5 points—often enough to push past the first score milestones.

Limitations

Only dictionary words in the published Word Grid word list are accepted; slang and proper nouns may be excluded.
Tiles cannot be reused within a single word path.
Progress does not sync across devices or browsers.

Frequently asked questions

Is Word Grid free?

Yes. Play daily or practice boards in your browser with no account required.

How does scoring work?

Words must be at least 4 letters. Four-letter words score 1 point, five-letter words 2, six-letter 3, seven-letter 5, and eight-letter (or longer accepted lengths) 11 points.

What counts as a valid path?

Connect letters that share an edge or corner. You cannot reuse the same tile twice in one word.

Where is progress saved?

Active games, found words, streaks, and preferences are stored in this browser’s local storage. Clearing site data removes them.

Do hints change my score?

Yes. Using a hint applies a 2-point penalty. Daily mode includes 3 hints; practice mode includes 8.
