Wordscapes February 20, 2026 Answers
18 words verified for Friday's puzzle.
Wordscapes answers for February 20, 2026 - the complete verified solution for Friday's Wordscapes Daily Puzzle by PeopleFun. Today's board draws from 7 letters (A A C I L N R) and asks for 18 words, topped by CRANIAL at 7 letters - a pangram that uses every tile on the wheel. There are also 7 bonus words worth extra coins.
Every word below is checked against the live game before it publishes - see how we verify. If a word will not fit, work longest-first: placing CRANIAL opens crossing letters for the shorter answers, the same technique from our solving tips. Stuck on a regular level instead? Jump to any board with browse by landscape or the letter search.
The daily resets at midnight local time. Yesterday's puzzle (February 19, 2026) is solved here, and February 21, 2026 is already up. The full daily archive reaches back to 2020 - every missed date, every word, every bonus.

About the February 20, 2026 Wordscapes Puzzle
The Wordscapes daily for Friday, February 20, 2026 ran 18 required words with an average length of 4.1 letters - a mid-weight board. The letter pool A A C I L N R builds to a full pangram in CRANIAL, and the spread runs from 3-letter fills up to the 7-letter anchor.
Watch the anagram traps: LAIN / NAIL, LAIR / LIAR / RAIL, ARC / CAR share identical tiles, and the grid takes each in a specific slot - if one will not fit, swap it for its twin. Longest-first remains the fastest route: anchor words expose crossing letters that pull the short fills out almost automatically.

How many words are in the February 20, 2026 Wordscapes daily puzzle?
18 required words plus 7 bonus words. Required words complete the crossword grid; bonus words are optional extras that pay out coins you can spend on hints in later levels.
What is the longest word in the February 20, 2026 puzzle?
The longest answer is CRANIAL at 7 letters - it uses every letter on the wheel, making it the board's pangram. Placing it first reveals crossing letters that make the remaining 17 words significantly easier to spot.
What letters are in today's Wordscapes daily puzzle?
The February 20, 2026 wheel holds 7 letters: A A C I L N R. Every required word and every bonus word is built from these tiles only - if a word needs a letter that is not here, the game will not accept it no matter how valid it looks.
Are there any anagrams in the February 20, 2026 puzzle?
Yes - LAIN / NAIL, LAIR / LIAR / RAIL, ARC / CAR use identical tiles in different orders. The grid accepts each only in its own slot, so if one gets rejected, try its twin in that position instead.
How does the Wordscapes daily puzzle differ from the main levels?
The daily puzzle is a standalone bonus board that resets every 24 hours and contributes no progress to your landscape completion. It tends to use larger letter sets than comparable main levels and typically includes more bonus words. Completing it awards coins - the same currency spent on hints in the main game - so the daily is the steadiest source of hint money outside of sweeping bonus words on the main levels.
