Are there any tips on playing Word Trace?
The goal is to earn the most points by spelling words! With that in mind, here are a few tips to consider when playing:
- Click/tap to select the first letter/tile and then drag from tile to tile; remember you can drag up, down, left, right, or diagonal to any tile/letter next to the one you are on.
- Make sure the words you trace are spelled correctly.
- Each word only gives you points once, so try to spell as many words as you can.
- Points are tallied based on how many letters are used per word. So the longer the word, the bigger amount of points you’ll earn for it.
- Keep an eye out for multipliers!
- Multipliers are point bonuses that you earn for using a letter tile that’s highlighted in gold for a brief period of time (see the B, W, and E tiles with x3, x2, and x3 multipliers, respectively). Successfully spelling a word with a letter tile that has a multiplier will provide two or three times more points for the word than usual.
