WordPulse: Live Word Battles

A real person is playing you live, right now, and your rating rides on every move. You found them by username and challenged them directly. Every game moves your ELO-style rating, up when you win, down when you lose. Three leaderboards to climb, real people to outplay.

Want a fight right now? A sharp bot is on call 24/7, so you never have to wait for an opponent. No empty lobby, no matchmaking queue. Just open the app and start climbing.

WordPulse works differently. There's no move clock, so human games go at your own pace, and when you don't want to wait on a person, the bot replies right away.

PLAY YOUR WAY

• Go free-for-all for up to 4 players
• Pick a side in 2v2, 2v1, and 3v1 team battles, where teammates' scores combine and the highest total wins
• Take all the time you want on a turn. There's no move clock, no per-turn timer
• Choose your bot's bite: Easy, Medium, Hard, or Insane

A REAL WORD GAME UNDER THE HOOD

• Classic 15x15 board with Double and Triple Letter and Word squares
• A 7-tile rack and two blank wildcards that play as any letter
• A 50-point bonus for laying down all 7 tiles at once
• Backed by a 179,931-word dictionary, validated on the server. Invalid words are rejected on the spot, so there are no disputed plays

CLIMB THE RANKS

• An ELO-style rating updates after every game, starting at 1500
• Three leaderboards: rating, total score, and win percentage
• Track games won, win rate, average points per move, and your rating history (last 90 days)
• Replay finished games with final scores, rating changes, and a breakdown of the last word played
