Learn How to Play TOSSWORDS

Master the fun in minutes!

The Game Kit & Setup

  • Your Arsenal: Grab the 52 letter tiles (2 sets of 26), the game sheet, two dice (the optional 12-faced one is for handicapping!), strips, and pens.
  • Ready to Roll: Everyone hides their 26 tiles face down. A quick coin flip decides who gets the exciting first move! (But don’t get too cocky about your initial lead – it might not last!)
  • The Goal: Be the champion! Race to be the first player or team to "retire" all 26 of your letter tiles.

Making Your Winning Move

  • The Core Rule: A move always starts with a die toss and a pick of two or more tiles.
  • Two-Tile Triumph: To retire two tiles, you must use them in a word where they're separated by exactly the number shown on the die (0 means adjacent!). Write your word on the strip to prove it!
  • Power Play (3+ Tiles): Designate two "key tiles" that must be separated by the number on the die. Your word must then contain all the extra tiles, making the challenge epic – more risk, but a greater reward!
  • Fine-Point Fun: Words must be 3 to 12 letters, and no proper nouns or plurals allowed! Moves are quick—stick to a one-minute time limit or risk losing a retired tile!
