The reference: the app
The rules described on this site are those of the Wordz app, read from its code: letter draw, word tracing, dictionaries, point calculation, end of game. When the app's built-in help and its code differ, the site follows the code.
Discrepancies between the app's help and its code
- The help says that letter values only count in Score mode: the code counts points the same way in all three modes.
- The help talks about "words" without saying that at least 3 letters are required: the code ignores shorter traces.
Sources consulted
- Word game (new tab) (Wikipedia): the family of games Wordz belongs to, and its vocabulary.
- Crossword (new tab) (Wikipedia): the layout of the words to find, crossed as in a crossword grid.
- Letter frequency (new tab) (Wikipedia): why common letters come up more often: the app draws its letters according to their frequency in the language.
- Diacritic (new tab) (Wikipedia): the accents and marks the app removes: its letters are the 26 unaccented letters.

How the examples are verified
Before each publication, two independent programs redo all of the site's calculations:
- a tool connected to the app's engine, without modifying it, draws each example game as the app does, and records the grid, the words to find and their points;
- it searches the app's dictionary for all the words that can be traced in each grid, and counts the words in each of the 17 dictionaries;
- a second, separately written program rereads the same dictionaries, retraces each word, recalculates every point total and every list, and blocks publication at the slightest discrepancy.
