About Rise of Words
Press Play to open Rise of Words, then check the word challenge and its rules. It's a straightforward word game that gets out of your way and lets you play. Use a device that supports the controls required by the game; not every browser edition supports touch input.
If you want to do well, keep this in mind: If letters have different point values, check those values before choosing a word. Check whether plurals and verb forms are accepted instead of assuming they score points.
