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

1. Choose a mode: online or vs bot. 2. Choose the turn time (45 to 120 seconds). 3. At the start you will see a 5×5 board and a 5-letter starting word in the center. 4. On your turn: - Place one letter in an empty cell next to letters already on the board; - Form a new word from the letters on the board (click the letters); - Check the word. 5.

The game also ends if the board is completely filled. 7. The player with more points wins. For a win, you receive +1 rating and can move up the player leaderboard.
