Solo-only sampler version of DICEWORDS, a compelling word game playable at all skill levels. DICEWORDS-X retains many features of the full version app, including the addictive puzzle. Try it for free!

DICEWORDS-X is played with 9 special alphabetic dice. Each turn you have up to three rolls in which to build the highest-scoring word you can, so typically you keep some dice and re-roll the others, aiming to get the letters you need.

It’s best to have several word ideas in mind because you never know which letters will come your way. Longer words will usually score you more - and if you can use the rarer letters too (Q, Z ...etc), you can get huge scores!

But there’s much more to this game than lucky dice rolls. The on-screen ‘Dice Table’ shows you which dice contain which letters, so you can weigh up the odds of rolling particular combinations - and therefore use strategy to improve your chances.

DICEWORDS-X takes care of the scoring - and tracks your word average to compare performance between games.
