How to Play Stackdown
Stackdown is a daily word puzzle played like Mahjong Solitaire with letters. Letter tiles are stacked in layers, and only the exposed tiles on top can be picked. Spell the hidden 5-letter words in order to clear the stack.
Goal
Your goal is to clear the stack of letter tiles by finding all the hidden 5-letter words.
At any given moment, there is only one correct word that can be spelled. Find it to move on to the next one.
How to Play
Pick Letters
Tap an exposed (top-layer) tile to move it into the word slots below. Picking a tile may uncover tiles underneath, making them available.
Spell a Word
Keep picking letters until all 5 slots are filled with the correct word.
Correct!
Undo
Tapped the wrong tile? Tap a letter in the slots to return it to the stack. Note: any letters placed after it will also be returned.

Wrong Word
If the 5 letters don't form the correct word, they'll automatically fly back to the stack.
Not a valid word — tiles fly back
