What is SHFL?

SHFL is PZLR’s daily anagram sprint. You spell ten scrambled words as quickly as possible, selecting either four-, five- or six-letter words before the round. The timer begins when you start and only stops after all ten words are solved.

How to play

  1. Choose the four-, five- or six-letter daily mode.
  2. Select Begin to start the timer.
  3. Connect, click, tap, drag or type the scrambled letters to spell a word.
  4. Solve all ten words to stop the timer, then open Review to see the completed list.

Why play SHFL?

Choose SHFL for a fast, transparent anagram challenge. Its persistent timer and immediate next-word feedback make it well suited to players who want a daily vocabulary speed test rather than a single-word puzzle.

Reading the feedback

SHFL gives immediate word-level feedback: a correct spelling presents the next word, while an incorrect spelling requires another attempt. The timer continues until all ten answers are solved, and Review exposes the completed word list after the game.

Modes

Four-letter words
A daily ten-word scramble round using four-letter words.
Five-letter words
A daily ten-word scramble round using five-letter words.
Six-letter words
A daily ten-word scramble round using six-letter words.

Tips & strategy

  • Choose a word length that matches your comfort with speed anagrams before starting the timer.
  • Look for common prefixes, suffixes and vowel-consonant patterns instead of trying random letter orders.
  • Use a Hint sparingly: it can reveal letters, but the core performance measure is finishing the ten words quickly.

Popular questions

How many words are in an SHFL game?
