a word game with hazards

Words with friends, minus the ads, the accounts and the nagging. Play on your own against a bot, or pass a link to up to three other people and take turns whenever you like.

A game with other people needs the network. A game against bots — or one passed around a single device — runs entirely in this tab and works with no signal at all.

Whoever started the game has a five-character code, or a link.

The squares

The four you know, and four you do not. Everything resolves the moment you play — nothing here waits a turn and surprises you later.

    Is it a word?

    The lexicon is ENABLE — public domain, and the same list Words With Friends uses. It has 96 two-letter words: no ZA, no QI. If you learned those from a tournament list, this is the board where they stop working.
