Hop & Drop

Letters grow up from the burrow floor. Spell words to clear them before the burrow fills up.

How to play

• Spell words of 3 letters or more with letters that touch up, down or sideways.
• Eaten letters vanish and the letters above drop down.
• After a short word a new row rises from the floor (on easy burrows, after every second short word). A long word holds it back. Every burrow shows how many letters count as long.
• Letters that just dropped score double in your next word. That is a cascade.
• Carrot letters give 10 bonus points. Some burrows ask you to dig up carrots instead of points.
• Reach the target for one star, the higher targets for two and three. A level ends at three stars, when a column reaches the top, or when you finish. The daily keeps going after three stars, so you can chase Clover's score.
• A hint or two caps the run at two stars, and lots of hints at one.
• In relaxed mode a full burrow waits for you: undo a move to keep going, or end the run.

Controls

• Drag across touching letters and let go to eat the word, or tap letters one by one and tap the last one again.
• With a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move, Space to pick a letter, Enter to eat the word and Backspace to take a letter back.
• Add row brings up fresh letters when you are stuck. Undo takes back your last move.

Tips

• Long words keep the burrow low.
• Save a letter that just dropped for a big word: it doubles the whole word.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. The daily burrow is free every day, plus 10 levels a day and the endless burrow.

Can every burrow be done?

Yes. Clover the rabbit played every burrow and reached three stars, so the targets are always possible.

What stops a new row?

A long word. Every burrow shows how many letters count as long, from 5 in the easy tiers up to 7 at the top. Easy burrows also rise only after every second short word.
