Playlin'sGuide

Wridges is a fast, vertical word-hunt game where you drag across letters to spell words and climb upward through a hex grid.

Your goal: reach the highest level possible before the clock runs out.

How it works:

  • Drag to spell words of 3 letters or more.
  • Every word must start from the bottom row.
  • Each valid word clears a path upward and pushes you into higher levels.

It’s a race against time:

  • You earn extra seconds for longer words.
  • You also gain time for each level climbed within a word.
  • Special bonus letters award additional time (and scale up the more you collect).

Power-ups:

  • Collect bonus letters to unlock skip-level uses.
  • If you’re stuck, tap Skip level to jump ahead and keep your run alive.

Why we like it:

  • βœ…Combines classic word-hunt play with a tense arcade clock.
  • βœ…Feels great when one long word carries you multiple levels.
  • βœ…Perfect for quick, repeatable runs.

Hint: Don’t just hunt for long words, look for paths that climb as many levels as possible in one swipe to maximize time.
