Versus Mode Rules for Words

Time Limit

  • You and your opponent have 3 minutes to solve as many Words puzzles as possible.

Same Words for Both Players

  • Both players are given the same sequence of words to ensure fairness—no one has an advantage based on word difficulty.

Hidden Guesses, Visible Feedback

  • You cannot see your opponent’s guesses (letters or words).
  • You can see the color feedback they receive (i.e., green/yellow/gray), giving you insight into their progress without revealing their input.

Win Conditions

  • The game ends immediately if one player fails to solve a "Words" (i.e., uses all 6 guesses without getting it right). In this case, the other player wins instantly.
  • If time runs out, the winner is the player who solved the most "Words" within the 3-minute limit.
  • If the other player disconnects, you immediately win.
