Simple to learn. Hard to outlast.

Read the board like the weather.

Every turn is a small tactical decision: which letters to rescue, which word to commit, and when to let the next wave roll in.

01

Catch the letters

Pull useful tiles from the six-column board before the water reaches them.

02

Shape the word

Arrange your rack into a valid English word. Longer, cleaner plays create stronger escapes.

03

Survive the surge

Score, restore flooded ground, and decide when to advance the storm without losing your plan.
