How to Play Split Happens
Split Happens is a free daily word game. Start with three phrases, rearrange every letter, and build new valid English words without leaving any tiles behind.
Complete each tier
- Normal: rearrange every letter into valid English words.
- Hard: keep every word valid while meeting the puzzle’s extra rule.
- Perfect Split: satisfy both earlier goals and place the highlighted letters so they spell the featured word in order.
Work on any goal at any time. Each criterion gets an outline when its own rule is met, regardless of earned trophies.
Move the letter tiles
- Click or tap a tile and then choose its destination.
- Drag tiles directly into place.
- Select two tiles to swap them, or double-click or double-tap to move a tile between the source and target boards.
- Click or tap the featured word to place its letters at any time. Recall returns all letters to their original source positions, including gold letters.
- Keyboard players can type letters into open spaces, use Backspace to return a tile, and use Escape to clear a selection.
