Your turn
How it plays
One grid. Two rivals. Take turns.
A game fits around your day: turns last up to 12 hours, and you get a notification when it's your move.
Your opponent moves
You get a "your turn" notification. While it's their turn the board stays hidden, so nobody works on the grid out of turn.
Open the game, play a word
Your 2-minute move clock starts. Read the clue and fill the word; longer words are worth more.
Right? Go again
A correct word keeps the turn in your hands; a miss hands it over. When the grid is full, the higher score wins.
