Hunt for uncommon and rare vocabulary words hidden in the grid to earn massive bonus points. Rare Gems rewards players who push beyond everyday language — building an exceptional vocabulary one rare find at a time.
Rarity is calculated from word frequency data across large text corpora. Words that appear less often in everyday writing earn a higher gem rating — from uncommon (silver) to extremely rare (diamond).
Yes. Each discovered gem displays a definition and example sentence. The vocabulary log lets you review past finds, and spaced repetition surfaces old gems again in future sessions.
Common words still count toward your score. The drill rewards persistence — the board is always solvable, but rare gems require creative scanning of letter paths.
