01

Start with a word

Every game begins with a starting word. Choose a 4-letter or 6-letter game and get ready for your first move.

02

Change one letter

On your turn, change exactly one letter to create a different, valid English word of the same length.

03

Take turns before time runs out

You and your opponent play in turns. Make your move before the timer expires, and think carefully about your next word.

04

Never reuse a word

Every word in the game must be new. Find another valid word each turn to keep the duel going.

A QUICK EXAMPLE

One letter makes a new word.

COLD → CORD → CARD → WARD. Each step changes exactly one letter.
