Game Modes
Every mode a host can put in a room
A room runs one mode, and Original is the default.
Beta modes are playable but still changing.
Word Games
| Mode | What happens |
|---|---|
| Original | Guess any word that contains the given letters. |
| Chain Word | Your prompt is a piece of the word the previous player typed, so you type a word that contains it. Settings can change which piece you get. |
| Letter Link | Link the letters on the grid to form words. First to reach the target score wins! |
| Typing Race | Race against others by typing the given words as fast as you can! |
| Monsters | Defeat the unique monsters, each with different prompts! |
| Paw Finders | Two teams, Dogs and Cats. Each team's spymaster gives a one-word clue; operatives tap the matching animals on the grid. Find all your team's animals first, but never tap the pound. |
| Wokey (beta) | A draw and discard tile race where you take your left neighbour's discard or pull from the pile, then drop one tile, until your whole rack splits into valid words and you go out first. |
Fun Modes
No word list involved. Nothing you play here counts as a discovery.
| Mode | What happens |
|---|---|
| Color Guesser | Memorize the color, then pick it from memory! The closest guess wins the round. First to 6 wins! |
| Sketch | One player draws the secret word while everyone races to guess it in chat. Faster guesses score more. Most points after all rounds wins! |
| Trivia | A live quiz on player made questions. Everyone answers the same question at once and the fastest correct answer scores the most. No hearts, keep trying until the timer runs out. Most points after 30 questions wins! |
| Map | Name the country or city on the globe before anyone else. The fastest correct answers score the most! |
| Defuser | Follow the prompt each turn: click, don't click, do math, remember numbers, match other players. Wrong answers cost a heart. |
| Chess | A proper two player chess match with full rules, premoves, move history and clocks. Only two players sit at the board, everyone else watches. Checkmate, flag the clock, or force a draw to win. |
Event Game Modes
These only come on for events.
| Mode | What happens |
|---|---|
| Dead or Alive | A Wild West elimination tournament of simultaneous 1v1 word duels. Everyone faces everyone in a group stage, racing to land valid words for their own syllable. The lowest ranked outlaws are shot down between stages until one champion is left standing. |
| Lava Rising | Type a word containing the next floor's syllable to stay ahead of the lava and climb to the top! |
| Hill Climb | Type words to accelerate your car up the hill! Build combos for nitro boost and race to the finish line! |
| Flappy Nerds | Type a word for your prompt to flap your bird upward, then time your flaps to fly through the gaps in the pipes. Gravity never stops, so keep typing or you fall. Last bird flying wins! |
