About the game

In Dice Words, each player begins by choosing a set of seven letter dice that each represent a different iced beverage. When the timer starts counting down, players attempt to form the longest and most valuable word possible. Don't have the letters you need? Don't worry! You can re-roll any of your dice up to two times before the round ends — but in addition to your individual letter dice, you must also try to incorporate the most "target letters", that is, the letters revealed on four ice cube-shaped letter dice that are revealed at the beginning of each round. The colder your drink thanks to the incorporation of ice, the higher your score!
