How does it work
- You have received a free scratchcard (see index page), and can form a word in one of the scratchfields.
- You can join WordGame by the following methods:
- Texting your word to 19765556:
(Additional charges apply - $3 for each message pair).
You will receive three sets of mixed up letters per week via SMS - unless you request more to earn even more points and outrun your competitors! If you can form ONE word per set, type that into a new text message and reply to the message sent to you.
Every reply will trigger a new set sent to you straight away, so if you are smart, you can get on top of the score list pretty quickly!
