[Play now — for free](https://play.dev.siwa.io/game/melimelo) This word game is played in French. M E L Fruit NOLEM ## How to play? Five words, five sets of jumbled letters, and one hint for each. Put the letters back in order to rebuild every word. The hint points you in the right direction without ever handing over the answer. 1. 1 Five sets of scrambled letters appear, one per word to find. 2. 2 Each set comes with its own hint. 3. 3 Reorder the letters and submit your answer, word by word. 4. 4 Find all five words to win the round. ## Why play? - Trains your eye for the shape of words. - Hints keep it approachable without making it easy. - Short format, perfect for a break. ## Tips - Look for a common French ending in the letters first: -TION, -MENT, -EUR, -ETTE or -AGE. Once the end of the word is in place, the start usually falls into place much faster. - Only the expected word is accepted: if your letters spell another valid word that doesn't match the hint, read the hint again, the right anagram is somewhere else. - You choose the order of the words. Start with the hint that speaks to you most, then come back to the stubborn ones with fresh eyes. - After a wrong guess, correctly placed letters turn blue and stay locked. You only need to rearrange the rest, but every missed guess lowers your score. - Accents don't matter: É, È and E are the same letter, so there's no accented tile to look for. ## Frequently asked questions
How do you play Melimelo? Five words appear as scrambled letters, each with a short hint. Tap the letters to put them back in order, then submit. Tries are unlimited and you can tackle the words in any order: rebuild all five to win. The words are in French.
Is Melimelo free to play? Yes. Melimelo is completely free and runs in your browser, on desktop or mobile, with nothing to download. You can play today's grid without an account; a free account unlocks the archive of past days, and SIWA+ (€18 a year) removes ads and adds advanced stats.
Is Melimelo an anagram game? Yes: each word to find is an anagram of the letters on screen. What sets it apart from a classic anagram puzzle is the hint, which steers you to the one accepted answer when the same letters could spell several words.
How is the Melimelo score calculated? Your score out of 1000 rewards finding the words with few mistakes. Every wrong guess and every joker costs points. Time matters too: you earn a bonus for beating the reference time and a penalty for being much slower. You also get 1 to 3 stars.
What can I do if I'm stuck on a Melimelo word? Use a joker: it reveals one letter in a position you don't know yet. It costs a few points but is often enough to crack the word. You can also move on to another word and come back later, since tries are unlimited.
