Free Online Word Disc

Form words from 8 outer letters and 1 centre letter arranged on a disc. Every word must include the centre letter and be at least 4 letters long. Can you find the hidden 9-letter word that uses all the letters? No download needed.

How to Play Word Disc

  1. Nine letters are arranged in a disc: one in the centre and eight around it.
  2. Click letters to build a word in the input bar. Every word must include the centre letter.
  3. Words must be at least 4 letters long and appear in the dictionary.
  4. Submit the word to score points. Found words are listed and counted.
  5. There is always at least one 9-letter word that uses all the letters — find it for bonus points!
  6. Try to discover all possible words before time runs out or the round ends.

Word Disc Tips & Strategy

  • Find the 9-letter pangram first — it is always achievable and gives the most points.
  • Look for common suffixes (-ing, -ed, -er, -tion) combined with the centre letter.
  • Short 4-letter words add up quickly — do not ignore them in the hunt for longer words.
  • Shuffle the outer letters (if available) to see new combinations and jog your memory.
  • Think about the centre letter’s role — is it a vowel that connects consonants, or a consonant that follows a vowel cluster?
