Combinations is a grid-based word game in which players must form valid English words from two, three or four letter tiles.
It can be thought of a little like Boggle, but with multiple letters per cell.
Played on a 4×4 grid, each cell contains a two or three letter ‘fragment’ which should be combined into words.
For example, in the screenshot above, cell 1 contains “st” and cell 2 contains “ing”. These can be combined to create the word “sting”.
Combinations Rules
Create words using combinations of letters from the grid and try to get the maximum score.
- Words can consist of two, three or four combinations.
- Each combination can only be used once per word.
- The number in the upper right corner of the tile indicates how many times this combination appears in today’s puzzle.
- Words with hyphens, proper nouns, vulgarities, and especially rare words are not included in the word list.
Combinations Strategy
- Although rather mechanical, words formed from two cells can be “brute force” solved by simply tapping the first cell followed by the second, then the first cell followed by the third, and so on, the beginning with the second cell. This strategy is not recommended for three and four combos.
- When all standard words using a cell have been found, it is replaced with a check mark. That cell can no longer be used, even for bonus words which may use it.
