Word Money turns your vocabulary into a fast-paced cash sport. Tap letters on the grid to build valid words before the timer runs out — the longer the word, the bigger the score.
Every match is skill-based and 100% fair. Both players get the same letter grid and the same clock — only your word power decides the winner.
Cash-outs are handled by Skillz, the platform behind every cash match. Here's where your money goes when you withdraw.
Word Money is a race to trace words through a shared letter grid. You connect neighboring letters in any direction, across, down or diagonally, and longer words score more, so the players who win are the ones who scan the grid with a system instead of hunting at random. New to it? Read our full guide to how Word Money is played.
Start with common word endings. Find an S, ED, ER or ING cluster on the grid and work backward to see which root words can reach it. Turning a word you've already found into its plural is often the quickest extra score on the board.
Prize pools scale with the entry fee. Cash matches in Word Money start from $1, and daily tournaments offer larger prize pools — top finishers regularly win hundreds of dollars. Your winnings come from tracing high-scoring words through the letter grid — every player on the leaderboard plays the same board, so payouts reward skill, not luck.
Word Money runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 13 or later) via the Apple App Store, and on Android phones and tablets via a direct APK download from the Skillz platform. Google Play does not list real-money skill games, so Android players install the APK from our official download link on this page.
Cash-outs run through Skillz, the platform behind every cash match. Withdrawals up to the amount you deposited go back to the card or PayPal account you used. U.S. winnings above that go to your bank if you have linked one through Skillz's Aeropay option (usually in under 24 business hours), or arrive by paper check, which Skillz says can take 4 to 6 weeks. Bonus cash can't be withdrawn, and you may be asked to verify your identity first.
Yes — every Word Money match is powered by the Skillz Fair Play program. Both players receive the exact same board, the same pieces, and the same clock, so only skill decides the winner. Matchmaking pairs you with opponents of similar ability based on your match history.
