1. Introduction.
With Cool Tabs, you can create a campaign using the Unscramble the Letters mechanic. This dynamic allows you to set up an interactive game in which participants must correctly reorder the letters of a word or phrase before time runs out.
On each screen, the user will see scrambled letters and must figure out the correct order to reconstruct the hidden word or phrase. For each correct answer, they’ll earn points—and if they’re fast enough, they can earn bonus points based on time. You can also configure multiple words or phrases.
You’ll be able to fully customize the game design, set a time limit, and define the messages that appear based on the participant’s result.
Additionally, you can assign scores for different milestones, enable a participant leaderboard, and run a prize draw either among users who reach a minimum score or among all participants.
Below, you can see an example of an online campaign using the Unscramble the Letters mechanic.
2. Step by step.
2.1. Create your campaign.
First, you must create your campaign and configure the basic setting. Is it your first time creating a campaign with Cool Tabs? In the following tutorial, we will show you how to configure the basic sections of a campaign, as well as other recommended settings, to ensure its proper functioning and maximize results.

2.2. Configure the game.
After completing the basic sections, go to the 'Gamifications' section, activate the Sort the letters option, and click on 'Configure'.
Once inside the configuration, fill in the fields related to the game characteristics and design.
2.2.1. Main configuration.
Enter the word or phrase that participants will need to guess. If it’s a phrase, make sure to separate each word with a space.
You can set a single word or phrase for the entire campaign or schedule different ones by date, allowing users to return periodically to try and solve the word assigned for that day.
Date configuration:
When setting up multiple words, you can assign each one a specific activation date. Just to let you know, dates cannot overlap. If a date is repeated, an error message will appear.
Character restrictions:
- Only alphabetic characters are allowed, that is, letters from A to Z, both upper and lower case.
- No accents, numerical characters, or special characters (symbols) are accepted.
2.2.2. Game conditions.
- Set the duration of the game in seconds. This will be the maximum time the participant has to guess the word or phrase you’ve configured.
- Define the points you want to award or deduct based on different milestones: for each word completed and for the remaining seconds when the game is solved.
- Specify the maximum number of games a user can play. Once a round ends, a popup will appear showing the points earned, the message "You have X more chances", and a "Play again" button. When the user reaches the limit of allowed rounds, they will no longer have the option to play again, only to continue.
2.2.3. Design.
You can give it a title that will be shown as the header of the puzzle and include a description (text and/or image) as a clue for the user.
Save the configuration and continue editing the campaign.
Below, you can see one example of game screenshots.
2.3. Other settings.
2.3.1. Ranking of participants.
In gamification campaigns, where players score points, it is common to show the public list of participants. In this way, the participations are public so that all participants know where they ranked.
If you want to show the ranking of players, with the points they have obtained, activate the list of participants.
To enable the public ranking of participants, follow the steps in the tutorial on How to display a public entries list or ranking of participants.
2.3.2. Winner selection.
If your game is linked to sweepstakes. Once the participation period is over, you will be able to select winners.
You will be able to choose them randomly, filtering by different conditions, for example, by the points obtained in the game.
The list of participants will show the data of the participants, as well as the total points they have obtained.
To start the selection, you can follow the tutorial: How to select winners and obtain your Certificate of Validity.
