Word Wars: Typing Battle

The daily is one run a day for real now — walk out and your score still posts. See today's whole leaderboard when you finish, and long words finally hit hard.

Your endings become their beginnings.

Type a word. The last letters of it are stamped onto a block and dropped on your opponent's board. To clear it, they have to find a word that STARTS with those letters — and whatever they play lands back on you.

That is the whole game. You are not racing a clock or matching tiles. You are choosing what to leave someone.

TYPE FAST, OR TYPE WELL Two things make your blocks heavier, and you can chase either one. Keep firing without pausing and your chain lifts everything you throw. Or reach for a long word — seven letters and ten letters each hit a step harder on their own. Break several blocks with a single word and the combo carries into your next one. Hold a chain of ten and the whole run cashes out at once.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY VERSUS — one on one over Game Center. Quick match with anyone else searching, or text an invite to any contact. They do not need to be a Game Center friend.

SOLO — up to three CPU rivals, each with a real personality. Metronome never breaks its chain: short words, relentless tempo. Berserker never blocks, only swings, and sometimes drowns itself. Bulwark answers everything and punches softly. Wordsmith does all of it, quickly.

DAILY — sixty seconds, one board, the same board for everyone. One run a day, and a streak worth keeping.

PRACTICE — a seven-step lesson that teaches the rule by doing it to you, then a training board with no opponent, no lives and no end.

BUILT ON A REAL DICTIONARY Nearly 350,000 valid words. Blocks are stamped from a common-word list, so what you are asked for is always answerable — you will never be handed letters nothing begins with. Letter values are Scrabble's, unchanged, because you already know them.

EARN THE REST Every match feeds a level, a record and a title. Board themes, block styles, typing effects and victory flourishes unlock as you play.

Word Wars is free. An optional Premium pack removes the ad break and adds a few things you cannot earn.
