Lexi

Seven letters. Sixty seconds. Build as many words as you can.

The idea

Lexi is a fast word-building sprint. You’re given a rack of seven letters and one minute to find as many real words as you can — the longer the word, the more it’s worth.

It exercises verbal fluency: the speed and ease with which your mind retrieves words. Searching a jumble of letters for hidden words pushes you to shift perspective quickly, hold possibilities in mind, and reach deep into your vocabulary — a light, enjoyable workout for language and mental flexibility. One rep a day.

How to play

You get seven letters

Each round starts with a fresh rack of seven letter tiles.

Tap to build a word

Tap letters to spell a word. Tap a used letter to take it back. Each tile can be used once per word.

Press Enter to score

Valid words (three letters or more, in the dictionary) bank points. Already-found words don’t score twice.

Clear the rack for more

Find the word that uses all seven letters to clear the rack, earn a bonus, and get a fresh set — the clock keeps running.

+300

Rack-clear bonus. Using all seven letters clears the rack for a bonus on top of the word’s value — so the seven-letter word is worth 1,300 in total. Scoring is by word length only; there’s no speed or streak multiplier, so it pays to hunt for length.

Controls

Shuffle — rearrange the rack to spot new words (no penalty).
Clear — empty your current word and start it over.
New letters — swap in a fresh rack anytime you’re stuck (no bonus).
Keyboard — on desktop, type letters, press Enter to submit, Backspace to undo.

Tips

Chase length. One six-letter word beats three three-letter words.
Shuffle to see. A new arrangement often reveals words your eye was missing.
Extend what you have. Endings like -ING, -ED, -ER, -S and prefixes like RE- and UN- turn short words into longer, higher-scoring ones.
Bank the sure ones first, then spend the clock digging for length.

Daily 7

Open Lexi from a Daily 7 link and the rack is pre-set to that day’s seven letters. You’ll land on a Ready to play screen — the 60-second clock doesn’t start until you tap Start, so you can settle in first.
