How Scoring Works in Three Letters Game

Scoring in Three Letters Game follows Scrabble-style letter values, then adds multiplier squares and a 50-point bonus for a 15-letter word. Blank tiles let you complete a word but never add points themselves. The game shows a valid word's potential score in yellow, and the word pulses and turns green once it is valid — you still need to press Enter to submit it.

Letter Values

Each letter in a submitted word is worth the following points:

The word's potential score appears in yellow before submission. A valid word pulses and is highlighted in green, but the score only counts after you press Enter.

Bonus Squares

The board includes multiplier squares that increase the value of a word:

• Light blue — double letter score
• Dark blue — triple letter score
• Pink — double word score
• Red — triple word score

These work like their Scrabble counterparts: letter multipliers apply to the tile placed on them, and word multipliers apply to the whole word.

Blank Tiles

A blank tile can stand for any letter you choose, but it scores zero points. Its position matters for the three-letter rule:

• If the first tile is blank, it becomes the first letter of your word.
• If the second tile is blank, it becomes the second letter of your word.
• If the third tile is blank, it becomes the letter that follows the position of the second tile in your word.

The 15-Letter Word Bonus

If you build a word that is exactly 15 letters long, you receive a 50-point bonus on top of the word's normal score. This is the largest single reward in the game and the main reason to hunt for long words rather than settling for short, safe ones.

What You See at Game Over

At the end of a game, the screen shows your score, the round you reached, and your best word score, ranked out of five bananas. It also lists emojis for the bonuses you earned in chronological order, and tells you if you set a new personal best. Scores and answers can be shared from any device you play on.
