    How to Play Word Wheel Online

    The rules for the word wheel games are simple:

    1. Create as many words as you can using the letters from the wheel.
    2. You can only use each letter only once in every word.
    3. Every word has to have the middle letter in the wheel.
    4. Only the words are accepted that are in the english dictionary on the website.

    How to play:

    Click on a letter in the word wheel. Drag to the next letter and continue until you reach the end of the word. Release your finger, and the app checks if the word exists in the dictionary. If it does, it goes into the 'words found' list, and you score points. If not, no points are scored. If you make a mistake, drag in the reverse direction of the word—go back to the last selected letter and continue from there.
