Dual Tile System

Orange words score double blue words — and where you place tiles can change their colour. It's not just about vocabulary. Every move is a tactical decision.

Hold back your orange tiles for the perfect moment — mix colours and they all turn blue. Set up high-scoring plays without giving your opponent the same opportunity. Think twice before placing a word — you might be handing them a colour conversion that sets up their best move yet.

Vocabulary wins games. Strategy wins more.

Smart Matchmaking

Whether your playing style is short, simple words or obscure high-scoring ones, you'll face opponents who play like you do. Our matchmaking looks at far more than just your score to find the right opponent. The result? Neck-and-neck games where every word counts. The more you play, the smarter it gets. After just a handful of games, the system knows exactly where you belong — and your matches get tighter and more competitive from there.

Every game is a fair fight — and every win feels earned.

Psst — it also means anyone using cheat tools naturally gets matched with each other, not with you.

Play Your Way

Six ways to play across two board sizes. Challenge a random opponent online, invite a friend, or play side by side with Pass & Play. Prefer solo? Take on the Trainee, Normie, or Professor bots — or practise alone with all the tiles to yourself. Start on the 19×19 Standard board, then unlock the 21×21 Superboard for even bigger scores.

Nice word! Good game!

In-Game Chat
