How to Play Bounty Tiles

The fixed round

• A new 4×4 board is yours for 90 seconds.
• Three tiles are charged as bounty tiles before the round starts.
• Words must be at least 3 letters long and come from the active Wordrush dictionary.

Claim charged tiles

Every word still scores its normal length squared. On top of that, each charged tile that appears in an accepted word for the first time adds a 25-point bonus.

Charged tiles are marked on the board. A claimed tile stays playable and can still be traced in later words, but its bonus is paid only once.

In multiplayer the bounty is shared by the whole room: the first player to trace a charged tile takes that bonus, and the spent tile pays nothing for anyone else.

When the round ends

The round ends when the 90-second timer reaches zero. In solo play you can choose End Round early; in multiplayer, the host can end the shared round early.
