A Fixed Letter puzzle means a particular letter must be present in every word you uncover. Themed puzzles allow you to earn bonuses by finding words related to the given theme, whilst Super Word board types mean you need to discover a 7 letter long word, along with four other words.
The word puzzles are exciting and frantic, as each board requires a different strategy, whilst gradually becoming more and more challenging. The ticking timer also piles on the pressure.
