About the Game

Fast, sharp, merciless: Wortgewandt is the high-speed word game where a pile of jumbled letters has to become valid words in seconds. Every round the clock is ticking, every letter counts – and a single strong word can flip the entire leaderboard.

What it's about

In front of you sits a set of shuffled letters, each with its own point value. Your job: build as many – and as valuable – words as you can before time runs out. Sounds easy? Under time pressure, with limited lives and a community breathing down your neck, a cozy word puzzle turns into a nail-biter.

How you play

  • Untangle the letters: Instantly spot which words you can form from the tiles in front of you.
  • Maximize your score: Every letter has a value – combine cleverly to squeeze out the most points.
  • Beat the clock: The time bar drains relentlessly. Hesitation costs lives.
  • Level after level: Rank up, unlock tougher rounds, and push your high score ever higher.

Play with your community

Wortgewandt is built for streaming: connect your Twitch account and let your chat guess, cheer, and play along. Together you chase fresh world records, compete on the leaderboards, and celebrate every perfect word in real time.

Features

  • Fast rounds with instant restarts – the "just one more round" kind of game
  • Scoring system with individual letter values
  • Level progression, lives, and time pressure for real tension
  • World records and leaderboards for maximum competition
  • Deep Twitch integration for streamers and their viewers
  • Unlockable achievements that push you toward ever-faster rounds
  • Extensive German word lists

Who is it for?

For word-puzzle fans, fast thinkers, and anyone who loves anagrams, letter scrambles, and the chase for a high score – whether solo as a reflex workout or live in front of an audience.
Grab the letters. Prove how wortgewandt you really are.
