What is Gridly?

Gridly is a fast-paced web word puzzle played on a 3Γ—3 letter grid. Players build words by tapping letters to form entries; words must be at least three letters and each grid letter may be used once per word. Play unlimited random puzzles or a single Daily puzzle shared with all players.

How to play

  1. Tap letters on the 3Γ—3 grid to form a word.
  2. Use each letter at most once per submitted word.
  3. Words must contain at least 3 letters to be valid.
  4. Submit the word (duplicate submissions are not allowed).
  5. Longer words earn more points; your progress is saved automatically.

Why play Gridly?

Gridly offers quick, vocabulary-focused challenges on a compact 3Γ—3 grid. Play timed rounds in Blitz for fast replayability or tackle the shared Daily puzzle to compete on the same grid as others. Points reward longer words and simple skill tiers track progress.

Reading the feedback

The game awards points based on word length, longer words score higher. The same word cannot be submitted twice, and progress is saved automatically so results persist. The site classifies progress into skill levels by number of words found: Beginner (fewer than 10), Intermediate (10 to 19), and Master (20+), providing immediate post-action classification.

Modes

Daily puzzle
Compete on the same grid as everyone today; a single shared Daily Challenge, listed with its date, is offered for global play.
Blitz mode

Tips & strategy

  • Aim for longer words when possible. They earn more points.
  • Do not reuse letters within the same word; each letter can be used only once.
  • Avoid submitting the same word twice. Duplicates are not accepted.
