The lightning bolt icon means it's your turn. The hourglass icon means your opponent is running out of time. The chat bubble icon allows you to send messages. Happy playing!
The icons represent different game features: the scoreboard shows game progress, the dictionary book icon helps you check word definitions, and the power-up icon displays your available boosts. Simple as that!
The in-game icons mostly show game functions or status. For example, the trophy icon shows your achievements, and the red exclamation mark alerts you to important notifications.
