Overview

Wordcracker is a two-player word game where you take turns adding letters to a growing string. You need a real word in mind each time, but can't finish a four-plus letter word. The only way to win is to challenge your opponent — either when they complete a word, or when you think they can't name a word that contains the string on the board. Knowing when to challenge is everything.

On Your Turn

• Place a letter — Drag a letter from the keyboard onto the board. You can insert it anywhere — at the start, end, or between existing letters.
• Special Move — Use swap or shuffle. This ends your turn.
• Challenge — Challenge your opponent if you think they made a mistake:
  • If they've made a word (4+ letters)
  • If you think they've created a string that can't be found in any word

Special Moves (once per round each)

• Swap — Replace one letter on the board with a different letter.
• Shuffle — Rearrange all existing letters into a new order.

Each special move must produce a string that hasn't already appeared this round.
