What makes it different

If you've played a word game before, two things here will be new.

The AK square — Anykine

Our own invention. When an AK square lines up with the word you're building, tap it and choose any letter you want. It comes out of the tile bag and scores its face value. Use at least one tile from your own rack and the board opens up in ways it can't anywhere else. Place your own tile on an AK instead and that letter scores double.

A dictionary you've never played

Hawaiian words, Pidgin words and phrases, and local slang. BRADA, LIDAT, PAU, ONO, and tens of thousands more — with alternate spellings, because Pidgin was never spelled just one way.

Play anywhere, anytime

Against the computer, solo, or two players on one device with a curtain between turns. No sign-up needed. Create an account to play against friends.
