Word lengths & difficulty
Words are 4 to 8 letters long. Higher tiers (Page → Squire → Knight → Paladin → King → Emperor) use longer and rarer words.
Every guess is checked against the full Scrabble dictionary (SOWPODS), so obscure-but-real words count.
Rewards
In the Arcade, each tier has an entry fee and pays gold and Infamy (XP) on a win: from free / 10 gold at Page up to 120 / 250 gold at Emperor.
In Castle Sieges, Cipher Core puzzles form part of a defender’s gauntlet.
Strategy tips
- Open with a word rich in common letters (E, A, R, S, T).
- A gold letter rules out its current position. Move it, don’t repeat it.
- Use grey letters to eliminate whole families of words before guessing.
