About Text Talk
Text Talk is a free online word puzzle game created by Double Coconut that mixes anagram-solving with crossword-style puzzles. A cheerful TV show host gives you a set of scrambled letters, and your job is to rearrange them to reveal words that fill in a crossword grid. With over 200 puzzles that gradually increase in difficulty and letter count, Text Talk keeps your vocabulary sharp one level at a time.
Text Talk runs directly in the browser with keyboard or tap controls, so it plays smoothly on both desktop and mobile with no download required. There's no time limit on any level, so you can take your time working through each grid, and the host hands out daily rewards for checking in, which makes it easy to turn into a regular habit.

Filling the Crossword
Each level gives you a handful of letters to form words from, and the crossword grid on the right shows you how many words are needed to complete it. Every valid word you find earns points, and forming extra valid words that aren't part of the puzzle still earns bonus points, so there's always a reason to keep experimenting with the letters you're given. Shuffling the letters into a different order can make spotting new words easier when you're stuck.
Make Use of Hints
You start with 5 hints, and using one reveals a single letter in the crossword grid to nudge you toward the answer. If you run out, you can buy more hints with points you've earned or by watching an ad. Text Talk is available in English only, but that makes it a genuinely useful way to build vocabulary even if English isn't your first language.
Tips for Winning at Text Talk
Look for short, common words first, since they're usually easier to spot among a jumble of letters and help you fill in crossing squares. Shuffle the letters whenever you feel stuck, since a different arrangement often makes hidden words jump out. Save your hints for levels with more letters, where the extra scrambling makes words genuinely hard to spot. Play with sound on so you catch the host's cheerful cues when you find a word correctly.
