How a word race works

  1. 1. A host chooses a reviewed subject pack, difficulty, timer, and race mode.
  2. 2. Players join the private room with a code and nickname—no account required.
  3. 3. Everyone receives the same grid and searches independently.
  4. 4. Definitions unlock after discoveries, and the final screen reviews the vocabulary.

Classic or vocabulary-focused

Classic Race rewards finding the full list carefully and quickly. Vocabulary Race adds a small bonus for opening definition cards, making it useful for family learning, classrooms, and workplace icebreaker packs.

Hints reveal only part of an unfound word and reduce the score. Incorrect selections use calm feedback rather than flashing or shaming players.
