How to play
- Watch the big screen for the 5×5 garden of letters. Your phone shows the same garden.
- Tap letters that touch (even at the corners) to spell a word, then tap ✔. Or slide your finger across them and let go.
- You can also type a word instead.
- Each letter tile can be used once in a word. Q stands for “Qu”.
- When the clock runs out, the big screen shows everyone's words, the standings, and up to 10 words that were “hiding in the garden.”
Scoring

|---|---|
| 3 or 4 letters | 1 |
