Word Worm
One shared word puzzle a day, two minutes on the clock. Finding the pangram is worth as much as twenty words.
Word Worm is the daily word puzzle. Everyone gets the same letters on the same day and one attempt, with two minutes on the clock. Make as many words as you can from the letters given.
Where to find it
Play at Word Worm in the Games hub.
Scoring
- A word scores its length squared — so a six-letter word is worth four three-letter words.
- Hidden in every puzzle is a pangram, a word using every one of the puzzle's letters. Finding it adds 100 points.
- Words are checked against the dictionary as you submit them, so a rejected word costs you nothing but time.
What you earn
| Words found | Pays | Pet XP |
|---|---|---|
| 20 or more | 200 MPC | 50 XP |
| 10–19 | 100 MPC | 25 XP |
| 5–9 | 50 MPC | 10 XP |
| Under 5 | nothing | none |
Finding the pangram adds 200 MPC and 50 XP on its own — as much as reaching the top tier. Coin boosts and your active pet's happiness are applied on top of whatever you earn. Playing on consecutive days builds a daily streak worth up to +50% coins, and every 7th day in a row is a free play — see Games.

Plays and your pet
- One attempt a day, on a puzzle shared by every player. There is no VIP bonus — everyone gets the same single go.
- Your active pet earns the XP in the table above.
Trophy
Word Worm's all-time record in The Trophy Case is the highest score in a single puzzle.
Good habits
- Hunt the pangram first. It is worth 200 MPC and 100 points — more than most players score in total.
- Long words, not many words. Length is squared, so one seven-letter word beats five three-letter ones.
- Do not skip a day. It is one attempt, the streak needs consecutive days, and tomorrow's puzzle is a different one.
Pet Intelligence
Finishing a round also earns your active pet +1 Intelligence — or +2 for a strong performance. See Pet Intelligence.
Genius hint
If your active pet is a Genius (Intelligence 100+), a Hint button sits next to Submit. Press it once per game to learn the first letter and length of one possible scoring word — not necessarily the pangram. The hint is drawn from the longer words still hiding in the letters, so the letter it names may belong to a different word than the one you are chasing. Every Intelligence tier from Bright up also adds bonus coins to your Word Worm payout — the results card shows the extra.
