About Word Duel
Word Duel is a word game for the whole family. A secret five-letter word is hiding, and you need to find it. After each guess, the colours show which letters are in the right place, which are in the word somewhere else, and which aren’t in it at all.
On the shared board, 2–4 players take turns guessing. You use each other’s clues, so it’s all about striking at the right moment: whoever guesses the word scores – and the sooner, the more points.
In the duel, two players sit opposite each other, each with their own half of the iPad and the same secret word. The fastest to guess it wins the round. It’s a fun race where you can look each other in the eye the whole way.
How to play
- Choose shared board or duel, type in the names and pick the number of rounds.
- Type a real five-letter word and tap Guess.
- Green with a star means the right letter in the right place, yellow with a dot means the letter is in the word somewhere else, and grey means it’s not in the word.
- Whoever guesses the word scores points: 6 points on the first try and one point less for each try after that.
