Object of the Game
Build as many valid words as you can from the spinning letter rings, earn clams, and solve the Target Word above the reels before time runs out.
Every word you make can reveal matching letters in the Target Word. Power-Ups can swing the game your way. When you’re ready, tap SOLVE, type the missing letters, and submit. If the timer expires, you’ll replay the level with a new target word for another attempt.

Scoring
- Each level starts with a score or 100 points which slowly tick down to 0.
- Forming words adds points back on the score and earns you more time to finish the level.
- Finish with a score of 100 or more for a PERFECT score.
- At the end of a successful level you are rewarded 1 clam for every 20 points remaining on the score. Example: 127 points would earn 6 clams.
- For every letter of a word that matches the Target Word, a bonus multiplier will be applied to that word score. 2x for 1 letter, 3x for two letters, etc.
- Word search points depend on the letters used and are scored as follows:
| Points | Letters |
|---|---|
| 1 | A,E,I,L,N,O,R,S,T,U |
| 2 | D,G |
| 3 | B,C,K,M,P |
| 4 | F,H,V,W,Y |
| 5 | K |
| 8 | J,X |
| 10 | Q,Z |
