Watch it play
Ninety seconds, two keyboards
Every word you finish flies at your opponent. Every word they finish flies at you. Somebody has to blink first.
How it plays
Attack or defend. Every second, your call.
- 01
Attack
You get your own words. Type one, press Enter, and it flies at your opponent. Some carry effects: double damage, double speed.
- 02
Defend
Their words fly at you. Type an incoming word before it lands and it is gone. Every block charges your energy.
- 03
Hit back
Spend energy on abilities with a single key, without losing the word you are typing. Blocking is not just survival. It is an investment.
