How To Play

  • Place Letters on the Grid to spell out words - you get one letter at a time
  • Letters can be placed alone on an * or next to letters where they could lead to a valid word
  • Complete words by placing an ! at the end - the longer the word the more points
  • Trash letters you can't use for a small time penalty

Multiplayer

  • Automatically join the same game as others from across the world
  • The board resets every 15 minutes, so score as many points before then as you can
  • The bar at the bottom shows what letters other players currenlty have

Build

  • The frontend is AngularJS 2 written in Typescript, hosted on Surge
  • The backend is a simple NodeJS server, hosted on Heroku
  • The two communicate via Socket.io

Support

  • There is an emergency button to restart the game, if there is a problem or you just can't be bothered to wait 15 minutes.
  • Anything else please contact me.
