The Big Picture of Pictoword
Pictoword shares a lot of similarities with other word association games like 4 Pics 1 Word. Players study multiple images and discover the hidden word that connects those images.
What sets Pictoword apart from the other word finder games is how the hidden word works. It is not a word the images have in common. Instead, Pictoword only uses two images for each puzzle. One picture represents the first half of the hidden word, and the other picture represents the second half. Your job is to figure out what word those two pictures combine to make.
How to Play Pictoword
The steps for playing Pictoword are easy to learn. This game — available for Android and iOS — wants players to jump right in and start having fun immediately.
When you begin a puzzle, the game presents you with two pictures. These pictures can be of nearly any person, place or thing.
Below the images, the game will load 13 scrambled letters in squares. The hidden word’s letters are mixed in with unnecessary squares to make finding the word more challenging.
When you think you know the hidden word, tap on the letter squares to spell it. The letters will move to a set of blank squares between the pictures and the letter squares.
If you spelled the correct word, you move onto the next puzzle and win a coin prize. Coins are Pictoword’s in-game currency.
Tips to Find All Pictoword Answers
Some puzzles can be hard to deal with. Sometimes, you can think of multiple answers that would work for the word jumble. And, sometimes the words just won’t come to you. For moments like those, keep these tips and tricks in mind as you try to find the Pictoword answers.
Watch Ads for Coins
Pictoword lets you earn extra coins by watching ads. Typically, the game will allow you to earn these bonus coins after solving a puzzle. Sitting through a few video ads can help pad your wallet for important purchases.
Play the Easier Theme Packs First
Once you have the option to play Theme Packs, start with the easiest ones first. Doing so will give you more time to learn and master the game. It will also let you earn more coins without needing to spend any on Boosts.
Try Any and All Words
The game doesn’t penalize you for making a wrong guess. And if your guess is only one letter off, the game will tell you so. This can help narrow down your answer more often than you might think.
Get the WordFinder app
Download the WordFinder app and use it whenever you don’t have enough coins to buy boosts or are trying to save your coins to buy more Packs. Pictoword answers are just a few taps away.
Use Our Online Unscrambler
Enter a puzzle’s letters into our word unscrambler tool. With the advanced search options, you can limit answers based on the hidden word’s length too. Find the word that matches the pictures and type that into Pictoword.
Get Some Extra Help With Boosts
Boosts are optional helping tools to reduce or eliminate the difficulty of certain puzzles. You need to spend a certain amount of coins each time you activate one of them.
Remove a Letter erases one of the letters from the scrambled letter squares.
Reveal a Letter shows you one of the letters in the hidden word.
Reveal 1st Photo places the first half of the hidden word beneath the first picture.
Reveal 2nd Photo places the second half of the hidden word beneath the second picture.
Skip Puzzle lets you bypass your current puzzle, automatically solving it for you.
