Prototype controls — not part of the shipping game.
Every day you can step like a King. One square in any direction.
Tap a tile to start. Reachable tiles light up. Then either tap the next tile, or drag an arrow to it from where you are (right-click drag on desktop). Drag back to undo. Tap your last tile to submit. Tap an unreachable tile to start over.

Words score by length, and every move scores by how unlike a King step it is. Knight hops are worth the most.
