FAQ
Good to know
How many students can play?
One to eight players per round. Students join from their own devices with a code, or you project one grid and tables hunt on paper before the big compare.
Do students need devices?
Only for individual scoring. On the projector it works beautifully as a whole-class or table-team game — everyone hunts the same grid.
How does scoring work?
Link touching letters to spell words before the timer ends — longer words score more. Stuck players can reveal a hint word if you allow it.
Is it free?
Yes. Grid Words, like every game type, is included on the free tier.
Do students need accounts?
Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.
