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

ModeWhat happens
OriginalGuess any word that contains the given letters.
Chain WordYour 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 LinkLink the letters on the grid to form words. First to reach the target score wins!
Typing RaceRace against others by typing the given words as fast as you can!
DungeonDescend an endless haunted dungeon together. Every word is a strike: words that fit several monsters' runes hit them all. Vote on doors, crack open chests, survive the floor bosses.
Paw FindersTwo teams, Dogs and Cats. Each team's leader gives a clue word and a number, and teammates tap the word cards that match it. Find all your team's cards first, but never tap the bomb.
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.
