+# Word Scramble Challenge 🌀
+
+This is a fun **HTML, CSS, and JavaScript-based web implementation** of the classic **Word Scramble Challenge**. In this game, you are given a scrambled word, and your task is to unscramble it as quickly as possible!
+
+## 🎯 Objective
+
+The goal is to unscramble the given word and submit the correct word within the time limit. You can also ask for hints to make it easier, but using a hint will reduce your score.
+
+## 🚀 How to Play
+
+1. **Start the Game**: Open the `index.html` file in a web browser.
+2. **Scrambled Word**: A scrambled version of a word will be displayed.
+3. **Unscramble the Word**: Type the correct word in the input field.
+4. **Submit Your Answer**: Click the "Submit" button to check if your guess is correct.
+5. **Receive Feedback**: After each submission, you'll get one of these responses:
+   * "Correct!" if you unscramble the word correctly.
+   * "Incorrect! Try again." if your guess is wrong.
+6. **Ask for a Hint**: You can click the "Hint" button to reveal a clue, but it will lower your final score.
+7. **Next Word**: Once you unscramble the word, a new scrambled word will appear.
+8. **Complete the Challenge**: Try to solve as many scrambled words as possible before the time runs out!
