How a game goes

  1. You pick the word length, the number of attempts and the words per game.
  2. The hidden word appears on the overlay with its first letter; viewers suggest words in chat.
  3. Each guess colours the grid: green in place, yellow misplaced.
  4. Whoever finds the word scores; after the last word, the podium.

On the viewers' side

Viewers take part by typing words in chat. Everything happens on the overlay in OBS: no extension to install, nothing to authorise.

  • Word length
  • Attempts per word — 4 to 10 rows, shared by the whole chat.
