About game

In the game, two players take turns. At the start of the match, a 5×5 board is used, and a 5-letter starting word is placed in the center (occupying 5 cells). On your turn, a player: Adds one letter to an empty cell adjacent to letters already on the board. Forms a word using the letters on the board. Submits the word for validation. For each accepted word, the player earns points equal to the number of letters in that word. Each turn lasts 45 to 120 seconds. If a player doesn’t finish entering a word before the timer ends, it counts as a skipped turn. The game ends when either one player accumulates 3 skips, or the entire grid is filled. The player with more points wins. A win grants +1 rating.

How to play
