How to Play WordSQD

WordSQD gives you three letters and asks for a real English word that contains those letters in the same order.

The basic move

Read the three tiles from left to right. Your word may contain other letters before, between, or after them, but the required letters must keep their order.

Worked examples

Easy example: CAT

Letters: C A T

Valid: CART, COAST, CHART. Each word has C before A and A before T.

Invalid: TACK, because T appears before C and the required order cannot be completed.

Standard example: TMR

Letters: T M R

Valid: TIMER. T appears first, M appears later, and R appears after M.

Invalid: METER, because M appears before T.

Harder example: SQD

Letters: S Q D

Valid: SQUAD. S, Q, and D appear in order, even with U and A between them.

Invalid: QUIDS, because Q appears before S.

Duplicate-letter example: ALL

Letters: A L L

Valid: ALLEY. The word has A, then one L, then another L.

Invalid: ALONE, because it has only one L after the A.

Forbidden example

Letters: B R D, avoid: A, S, T

Valid: BORED if the avoid letters are absent and B, R, D appear in order.

Invalid: BRAID if A is forbidden.

What happens when no answer comes to mind?

You can skip, let the timer expire, or submit a different candidate. A skip can earn a small score based on remaining time, but it breaks your combo. A wrong answer or timeout also breaks the combo.

How difficulty changes the game

Easy gives 60 seconds per round. Normal gives 30. Hard gives 15. Extreme gives 8. Forbidden gives 30 seconds, asks you to avoid three blocked letters, and pays a larger multiplier.
