Rules in 30 seconds
- 1Take turns tracing a word in a straight line (any direction). Every map is new, and maps grow from 9×9 to 13×13 with difficulty.
- 2Your word’s tiles turn your color, even if your rival owned them.
- 3A map ends early once a win is locked in, or once every territory is locked and someone leads. Most tiles wins. From Paladin up, it’s best of 3 maps.

Territories & locks
The map is split into territories of different sizes. Each is worth its tile count and hides 2–4 words from one category.
When a territory’s last word is found, all its tiles lock permanently to whoever holds more of them (the finder wins a tie).
The hatched wasteland between territories never locks, so it decides close games.
Strategy tips
- Steal tiles next to your own territory to build safe clusters.
- Small territories hide only two words: cheap, permanent points. Check who holds the majority before playing a last word.
- Passing twice in a row ends the match, so only pass when you’re ahead.
