🏅 An extra challenge in every match? Achievements are here

Every LexiSmash match already has its winner, but from today there’s also something to earn in the long run: Achievements. They’re goals that unlock by themselves while you play, with nothing to switch on.

What they are

There are sixty Achievements. Fifty are visible from the start, so you know what lies ahead: playing your first match (“🎲 Let’s go!”), winning three matches in a row (“🔥 Hat-trick”), writing a valid word of at least 9 letters (“📐 Big word”), using a Wildcard, finding a Bonus Word, beating the bots on your own, playing with your friends, levelling up and much more. The other ten are secret: you don’t know what they ask until you unlock them.

Where to see them

Open the Account panel: right below your statistics there’s the “🏅 Achievements” grid. The ones you’ve unlocked are in colour, with the date you got them; the ones still to unlock are grey, with a description of what’s needed; the secret ones appear as “Secret achievement”, with a count of how many are left to discover. Tap a tile to read its details. Achievements are translated into all six of the game’s languages.

How they unlock

The check happens at the end of every match: if you’ve reached a goal, the “Achievement unlocked!” notice appears. Some can be earned in a single match, like a very long word or an En Plein; others count your account totals, like matches played, wins or Bonus Words found. Every Achievement gives experience points, from 10 to 200 depending on difficulty, which help you level up. You need a real account (not a guest one).

A practical tip

Have a look at the grid before creating a room: if you’re missing “⏱️ Cool head”, for example, try a match with rounds of 20 seconds or less. As for the secret ones, the only advice is to play differently from usual: sooner or later you’ll discover a few.
