Games Unscramble
Unscramble the Word
The letters of an Amharic word, out of order. Put them back. Difficulty here is letter count and nothing else — three tiles, then four, then the long borrowings that take a minute to see.
How it works
Every Amharic letter is a whole syllable, so a four-letter word is four sounds and four tiles — not the dozen a Latin spelling of it would need. Tap them into place, or type them if you have the keyboard. A word is worth ten points a letter, and each hint costs it a quarter.
Six ways to arrange them. A good place to start. 353 words to draw from. With the meaning shown, the question is how the word is written.
Your record
Kept for this word length on its own — three letters. A time only stands if the round was finished with every word right, no hints and no skips.
No rounds yet. Play one and this fills in.
The word bank
663 words across 16 subjects, from the everyday to the bureaucratic. Nothing shorter than three letters: two tiles have one right order and one wrong one, which is a coin toss rather than a puzzle.
