Smush

Smush is a daily word puzzle from John Green where your mission is to build words from a limited set of letters, with one golden letter that's always required and can be used endlessly.

You start with a grid of letters, each marked with five dots representing five uses. The gold center letter is mandatory in every word you make. Click letters to spell, hit Smush, and watch your pile grow.

• Every letter can be used up to 5 times total across all your words.
• The gold center letter is required in every word and has unlimited uses.
• Letters can repeat within a single word.
• The 🌶 spicy letter moves after each word. Use it to double that word's points.
• Smushing a letter (using its last dot) doubles that word's score too.
• Hunt for the pangram, a word using every letter on the board. It scores extra, especially if you find it first.
• A new puzzle drops every day.

Why we like it:

• ✅The resource management adds real strategy to word hunting.
• ✅Watching letters smush and multipliers stack is deeply satisfying.
• ✅Knowing there's a pangram hiding in there keeps you coming back for one more word.

Hint: Don't burn through high value letters early. Save your last uses for big scoring plays, and keep an eye on that moving spicy pepper for maximum points.
