Each day, you receive a new set of letters at the forge. Your goal: craft as many valid words as possible from the available letters, and discover the hidden Masterwork word.
A new forge appears every day at midnight UTC. Everyone gets the same letters, so you can compare scores with friends and climb the leaderboard.
Core Letters (must use)
Every word you forge must contain each Core letter at least once. These appear prominently at the top of the forge.
Crucible Letters (available pool)
These are the additional letters available to build your words. Your word can only use letters from the Core and Crucible — no outside letters allowed. Each letter in the pool can be used once per word.
Example: If Core is A Rand Crucible is E S N W, then "EARN", "SWEAR", and "ANSWER" are all valid — they each contain both A and R, and only use available letters.
A word is accepted if it meets all four conditions:
Base Points (by word length)
