Solo Word Hunt
WordScouts is a free, single-player version of Word Hunt, the GamePigeon word game played over iMessage. It exists so you can practice on your own — no opponent, no iPhone, no app install, no account, no ads. It runs entirely in your browser on desktop or mobile.
Swipe (or click and drag) across adjacent letters on the 4×4 grid — or a bigger 5×5 board if you prefer — to spell words. Letters must touch horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and each tile can be used once per word. Words must be at least 3 letters long. Find as many words as you can before the 80-second timer runs out, or pick Untimed mode to search at your own pace and reveal every word on the board when you're done.
Scoring matches the real game: 3 letters = 100 points, 4 = 400, 5 = 800, 6 = 1400, 7 = 1800, 8 = 2200, and +400 for each letter beyond 8.
The rules, timer, scoring table, and letter adjacency all mirror the real game, and the word list is Collins Scrabble Words 2019 — the same dictionary GamePigeon uses. If a word counts here, it counts there. After each round you can review the board and see the full list of words you missed.
We keep a few short guides: the full rules and scoring, tips & strategy, the best words to memorize (all verified against the game's dictionary), and how to play Word Hunt on Android.
We also have a free solo version of Word Bites — drag letter pieces on the board to build words, with the same rules, scoring, and dictionary as the iMessage game.
