About the Game

GUESS THE HIDDEN WORDS

Every board hides twelve words. Pick one, type your guess, and watch it turn green. Solve all twelve before your lives run out.

NINE KINDS OF HINTS

Stuck? The hints come at every word from a different angle: a definition, a rhyme, a pair of emojis, a surprising fact, a word that means the same, an opposite hiding on the same board, the category it belongs to, and whether it is a noun or a verb.

Some hints tie two words together, like Word 4 loves to eat Word 9. Solve one and you are halfway to the other.

A wrong guess still pays off. It costs a life, but it reveals a letter and brings a fresh hint.

SCAN. JOIN. BATTLE.

Put Word Link on the TV and hand out the phones. Everyone scans the QR code, picks a team and types on their own phone. No app to install, no account to make.

Two to four teams share one board. A correct guess scores a point and keeps your turn going. A wrong one hands it over. First team to the target score wins.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY

  • Single: one board, ten lives. Clear all twelve words.

  • Survival: endless boards. Lives and score carry over, and every correct guess earns a new hint. Your best run goes on the Steam leaderboard.

  • Versus: two to four teams on one screen, playing on phones or sharing one keyboard. Set the target score, the streak limit and an optional turn timer.

PLAY IN ENGLISH OR ARABIC

More than 3,000 words across dozens of categories, from animals and food to countries, feelings and describing words. Arabic is fully supported, right to left, with its own word lists and its own leaderboards.
