7 Words
7 Words gives you a set of definitions and a pool of letters, and asks you to build a word for each definition out of that pool.
The twist is that the letters are shared. Every definition on the screen draws from the same pile, so a word you build wrongly does not just fail on its own, it takes letters that another answer needed. That makes 7 Words closer to a crossword than to a word builder: the answers constrain each other.
How to play 7 Words
- The definitions are listed at the top of the screen.
- The letters available to you sit below, grouped into fragments rather than single characters.
- Select fragments in order to build a word that matches one of the definitions.
- Correct answers lock in and their letters leave the pool.
- Clear all the definitions to finish the level.
You can sort the letter pool alphabetically when the layout stops helping, and a hint is available for the answer that will not come. There are 777 levels in the set.
Tips and strategy
- Solve the definition you are certain of first, even if it is the hardest word. Every answer you lock in shrinks the pool for the rest.
- Sort the pool when you stall. The default arrangement is scrambled on purpose, and alphabetical order makes fragments that belong together far easier to see.
- Look at fragment length, not just letters. A three character fragment cannot be split, so it has to appear whole inside one of the answers.
- If a definition seems to have no matching letters, look for a synonym. The game is often asking for a less obvious word than the one that first comes to mind.
- Count what is left. When two definitions remain and you can see the leftover fragments, the answers are usually forced.

Frequently asked questions
How many levels are in 7 Words?
777 levels, each with its own set of definitions and a shared pool of letters.
Are the letters shared between answers?
Yes. Every definition on the screen draws from the same pool, so answers constrain each other the way they would in a crossword.
What if I cannot find the word for a definition?
Try a synonym first, since the answer is often a less obvious word than the one that comes to mind. A hint is available if that does not work.
Can I reorder the letters?
Yes. Sorting the pool alphabetically is the fastest way to see fragments that belong together.
Is 7 Words free?
Yes. It plays in the browser with no download and no account.
