Two players. One showdown.

Word Duel is a head-to-head twist on the daily word puzzle you already know. Pick a real 5-letter word, send your friend the 6-character code, and race to crack each other's secret word in 6 guesses each. Fewer guesses wins.

Want to warm up? Standard solo gives you one word and six tries, quick and satisfying. Hard solo throws four words at you simultaneously with nine guesses total. Every wrong answer costs.
