sqword: word duel

Same letters. Your placement. That’s the game.

In sqword, both players get the exact same letters in the exact same order. No lucky draws, no bad racks. The difference is where you put them on your own 5×5 board. It’s a duplicate-style word game where skill, not luck, decides the winner.

Each round one of you rolls four letters and picks one. You both place that letter on your own board. Then you swap roles. Once the boards are full, every row and column scores its best word. Highest total wins.

Matches are quick, and there’s a lot to learn about building a board.
