How Word Merge works

Find the day's words in the grid, and merge two of them into a longer one, before the clock runs out.

Read the full Word Merge rules and tips
  1. 1. One theme a day

    Every word on the board belongs to the same theme, and the theme turns over each day. The words are drawn from ones you have not had, so coming back to the same theme is a different board.

  2. 2. Trace a path

    Drag from letter to touching letter, in any direction, turning as often as you like. A word bends: it does not run in a straight line. You can tap letter by letter instead, and tap the last one again to put the word down. Either way a word can be traced from either end.

  3. 3. Merge two words

    Two of the words on the board go together. Find both and they merge into a longer word that is not in the grid at all: STORM and CLOUD make THUNDERSTORM. The row above the word list shows how many pairs are hiding on this board.

Questions

About Word Merge.

What is the goal of Word Merge?

Find the day's words in the grid, and merge two of them into a longer one, before the clock runs out.

Is Word Merge free?

Yes. Word Merge is one of 48 games in PlayBurst, a single free app. It is free, nothing is locked in front of it, and no purchase in the app unlocks a game: the shop sells coins and removing the ads, and that is all it sells.

Can I play Word Merge without a connection?

Yes. Word Merge runs on your device rather than on a server, so it keeps working on a plane or in the back of a car. The first launch of PlayBurst reaches out once to set up your guest account, and opens anyway if it cannot.

Where can I get Word Merge?

Nowhere yet. PlayBurst is not out on any store at the time of writing. The Amazon Appstore comes first, for Fire tablets, then Google Play and the App Store, and the links land on this page the day they exist.
