Word Bones

Build words letter by letter against a CPU that gets smarter as you climb. Claim for points — or push your luck and keep going. First to 50 points wins each round.

Word Bones is a fast, competitive word-building duel.

You and the CPU take turns laying letters on shared domino "bones," one at a time, building toward longer and longer words. Every letter has to keep a real English word reachable — play one that leads nowhere and you BUST.

When a valid word forms, you decide: CLAIM it for points, or keep going for a bigger one. Longer words score exponentially more — but the longer you push, the more you risk handing the turn (and the points) to your opponent.

• Claim-or-risk scoring — short and safe, or long and greedy • A CPU that levels up with you, from ROOKIE to LEGEND • SWAP — once a round, rewrite your opponent's last letter • Near-miss hints after every bust, so you learn the words you missed • A permanent word collection with milestones to chase • ~48,000-word dictionary • Pixel-art retro-space style, satisfying haptics, and chiptune sound • No account needed — your stats and word collection stay on your device • Free, with occasional ads between games — remove them with a one-time purchase

First to 50 points wins each round. How long a word do you dare build?
