Try to find five high scoring words in the puzzle grid, like Boggle.
What is Chiddle?
Chiddle is a daily word puzzle that plays like a solo round of Boggle. Each day presents a new grid of letter tiles, and your goal is to find the five highest-scoring words you can. It runs in the browser and is free to play.
How to play Chiddle
Words are formed by selecting adjacent letter tiles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, with each tile used only once per word. You can enter words by clicking tiles (or typing them) and submitting; words must be at least three letters long. Only your five best-scoring words count toward your final score, which is compared against the theoretical maximum.
Tips & strategy
- Look for longer words first, since longer words naturally accumulate more letter points.
- Keep an eye on high-value letters (like Q, Z, X) and try to build words that include them.
- Before finishing, double-check for common prefixes and suffixes that can extend a word you already spotted.
- Use the hint feature sparingly if you're stuck, as it may affect your final score comparison.
- Try to beat your own percentage of the maximum score rather than just finding any five words.
