how to play gubbins

Gubbins is a cheeky word game where you place letter tiles to build proper words, while mischievous “gubbins” cards help or hilariously sabotage.

Drag tiles to form words across or down, clear space, and rack up points—longer words and clever placements pay off.

Play helpful gubbins to duplicate, shuffle or save tiles, and bin the nasty ones that block, scramble or generally ruin your day.

Watch your limited tile queue, bank power-ups for when the board’s chockers, and don’t be shy about resetting a dud run.

When you run out of moves, that’s the lot—have another crack and chase a better score next round.
