EXAMPLE: in level 1, you have 120 seconds to clear one vertical or horizontal line of letters. In level 2, you have 120 seconds to clear two vertical or horizontal lines of letters.

Additionally, after level 10, your time for each level is reduced by 10 seconds. For example, at level 11, you will need to clear 11 lines within 110 seconds, and, at level 12, you will need to clear 12 lines within 100 seconds.

At level 16, you would have 60 seconds to complete the level and this number would remain the same for the further levels in the game. 

NOTE: the number of levels is unlimited

Three same letters

You can select and remove actual words or sequences of the same three letters in a row.

EXAMPLE: you can select O-O-O to remove it, but it will only bring you a small number of points

NOTE: the Word Length Multiplier doesn't apply to words or letter combinations like O-O-O that only contain identical letters

At the end of the level, you'll see the word added to your list of All-Time Best Words. You can share this achievement with your friends by clicking on the "Share" icon. You can also click to continue onto the next level.

On the title screen of Word Wipe, you can also check out your All-Time Best Words by clicking on the trophy cup, which will take you to the statistics screen. There, you can check out all of the All-Time Best Words you have achieved, as well as other all-time statistics.

Tips

1. Look for long words before submitting short ones

Longer words are worth considerably more because the score is based on the value of the letters and then multiplied by the word’s length. Before submitting an obvious three-letter word, check whether you can extend it with a prefix, suffix, plural S, or another connected letter.

2. Search in every direction

Letters can be connected horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or by combining these directions within the same word. Do not limit yourself to straight lines. Trace possible paths around each promising group of letters and look for words that bend across the grid.

3. Focus on the level objective first

To advance, you must clear the required number of complete horizontal or vertical lines before time runs out. A high score will not save the game if the line target is incomplete. Prioritize words that remove letters from nearly completed rows or columns.

4. Use short words to reshape the board

Short words earn fewer points, but they can still be strategically useful. Removing a small word causes the tiles above it to fall, creating new letter combinations and potentially opening a path to a longer word.

Use short words when they help clear a target line, reposition difficult tiles, or create a better board—not simply because they are the first words you notice.

5. Build around useful prefixes and suffixes

Look for common word extensions such as S, ED, ER, ING, LY, RE, and UN. A short word may become much more valuable when one or more connected letters are added.

It can also help to begin with a useful letter cluster and examine the surrounding tiles instead of searching for complete words immediately.

6. Use high-value letters inside longer words

Letters have different point values in Word Wipe. When you have several possible words, favor the option that combines valuable letters with greater word length.

However, do not spend too much time forcing a difficult high-value letter into a word. The timer and the line objective remain more important than a small increase in letter points.

7. Use bombs to solve specific board problems

A bomb clears a 3×3 area of the board. Place it where it will remove the greatest number of useful tiles, help complete one or more required lines, or eliminate an awkward group of letters that is blocking your progress.

Do not automatically save every bomb until the final seconds of a level. Using one earlier can reshape the board, create new letter combinations, and help you reach the line target before time runs out.

8. Keep playing after completing the goal when time allows

After reaching the level objective, additional submitted words contribute toward charging a bonus bomb. A bonus bomb is awarded after you earn 500 bonus points.

Continue forming words if you have enough time and the board remains productive. However, do not delay the required objective in an attempt to charge a bomb.

9. Aim for a complete clear only when it is realistic

Removing every tile from the level doubles that level’s score. This can provide a major scoring advantage, but it should be treated as a secondary objective.

Secure the required lines first. Then attempt a complete clear if enough time remains and the remaining letters can still form valid words.

10. Use identical-letter combinations only as a tactical move

The game allows combinations of three identical connected letters, such as O-O-O. These combinations can help remove inconvenient tiles or complete a line, but they award relatively few points and do not receive the normal Word Length Multiplier.

Use them to improve the board rather than as a primary scoring strategy.

11. Adapt as the levels become faster

The number of required lines increases as you progress. After level 10, the available time also begins to decrease, eventually reaching 60 seconds from level 16 onward.

In later levels, prioritize quick recognition, efficient paths, and completion of the line target. Spending too long searching for one exceptional word can end an otherwise successful run.

12. Use the most comfortable input method

You can form a word by dragging through its letters or by selecting the letters individually and clicking the final letter again to submit it. Use whichever method lets you enter words more accurately and quickly.

Accidental selections waste valuable time, especially in later levels, so accuracy is just as important as speed.
