How to Play Candy Word?

1. Match candies: Swap adjacent candies horizontally or vertically to create groups of 3 or more identical treats. Use your mouse to drag candies into new positions, or tap arrow keys/WASD to move a selector and press SPACE to swap.
2. Reveal letters: Every candy match removes pieces from the board and uncovers hidden letters beneath them. Bigger matches reveal more letters!
3. Form words: Click on revealed letters in the bottom letter bank to spell words. You can also drag letters into your word-building area.
4. Submit words: Hit ENTER or click the "Submit" button when you've formed a valid word to score points. Longer words earn bigger bonuses!
5. Clear objectives: Complete each level's goal – whether it's finding specific letters, scoring target points, or creating certain words.
6. Use boosters: Create special candy combos (like striped candies) by matching 4+ pieces, then click them for explosive effects!

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I can't find any matches?
Don't worry! The game automatically reshuffles the board if no moves are available, or you can use a shuffle booster.

Do I need to use all revealed letters?
Nope! You only need to form one valid word per level using any available letters. Save extra letters for bonus points though.

Why do some candies have stripes or sparkles?
These are special candies! Match them to create powerful effects – striped ones clear entire rows/columns, while sparkly ones explode nearby candies.

Can I play without making words?
You'll need to form at least one word per level to progress, but focus on big candy matches first to reveal more letter options.

How does scoring work?
You earn points for both candy matches AND word submissions. Longer words and rare letters (like Q or Z) give massive bonuses!

Are there time limits?
Absolutely not! Candy Word is stress-free – take all the time you need to plan matches and brainstorm words.

What if I submit a wrong word?
No penalties! The game only accepts valid dictionary words, so just try different letter combinations.

Do special candies help with word building?
Indirectly yes! They reveal more letters faster by clearing large board sections, giving you better word options.

Why do some levels have locked tiles?
These are challenge elements! Match candies adjacent to locked tiles to break them open and access hidden letters.

Can I replay completed levels?
Definitely! Replay any level to beat your high score or discover new word possibilities you missed before.
