Anagram — unscramble the word before the clock runs out
Play any time
A word, its letters shuffled, and a clock. Solve it and the next one is already on screen. It is the fastest game in the collection and the one that fits into a queue or a lift.
The words come from a frequency-ranked common-word pool, so what you are unscrambling is always something you actually know — the difficulty is in seeing it, not in knowing it.
Because it is quick, it is the best one to challenge someone on: same letters, same clock, straight comparison. Four difficulties, and as many runs as you feel like.
Free on Android and iOS. Play as a guest — no account needed.

Anagram questions
Are the words obscure?
No. They come from a frequency-ranked pool of common words, so the challenge is spotting the word, not having heard of it.
Is Anagram timed?
Yes, it is a timed run — how many you can unscramble before the clock stops.
Can I play it offline?
Yes. The dictionary is bundled with the app and synced in the background, so a run does not need a connection.
