Multiplayer word game
WordTrust
Tile-based word building where the community decides what counts. Build words on a shared grid, vote together, and explore game modes that reward creativity, strategy, and good faith play.
Core gameplay
- Tile-grid word building with drag-and-drop placement (mouse + touch).
- Connected word rules and multi-direction validation modes.
- Undo support and clear turn flow with safeguards and confirmations.
- Per-player scoring, configurable win conditions, and tie-break options.
Word voting & consensus
- Vote on words before they become final — great for house rules, slang, names, or learning environments.
- Consensus options with UI cues for missing votes.
- History tracking for votes, bonuses, and notable events.
Dictionaries & language support
- Multiple dictionaries with per-game selection and optional per-player variants.
- Dictionary tools: add/remove/toggle words, multi-select helpers, export/save-to-disk.
- Multi-language support including English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Turkish, plus Cherokee (Tsalagi font + tiles + keyboard support).
- Specialized lists including grade-level vocabulary sets, taxonomy/common-name lists, periodic elements, and more.
Multiplayer & online play
- Internet play via server rooms (host/join).
- LAN play with discovery helpers (Wi-Fi discovery and QR sharing).
- Seats & room management: join/leave handling, reconnect-to-seat behavior, host migration, and player removal voting.
- Bluetooth play for nearby players with no network at all.
- Reticulum support for end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer play.
- Freenet / Hyphanet support for asynchronous "play by turns" games.
Game modes & modifiers
WordTrust includes a growing library of optional, multi-select rule variants that can be enabled by vote (with host veto support). Examples include timed turns, scoring modifiers like long-word bonuses and risk multipliers, and rule twists that change how players build and judge words.
Nonhuman opponents
- Nonhuman players (coded by the devs — no LLMs) can play turns and participate in word judging.
- Configurable dictionaries for nonhumans, including randomized grade/readability sets.
- Turn-safety controls to reduce off-turn actions and keep multiplayer stable.
UX, accessibility, and polish
- Zoom & pan the board, plus centering controls.
- Search tools including history search and tile board search with wildcards.
- Visual clarity: active player highlights, ghosting/visibility cues, floating score feedback, dark mode, themed UI.
- Sound & feedback: turn cues, event sounds, per-event volume sliders, and optional animation settings.

Privacy & data use
WordTrust does not require an account and does not use analytics or advertising IDs. The only data stored on your device is your preferences, game settings, and any games you choose to save — none of it is uploaded anywhere unless you specifically share it.
The screen name you choose is shared with the other players in a game session so they know who they're playing with. Gameplay moves are exchanged with those same players over whichever connection method you pick. WordTrust's developers never receive or store any of it. LAN and Bluetooth games are encrypted device-to-device. Internet games pass through a hosted WordTrust server that relays moves between players in real time; data is also end-to-end encrypted so the server itself cannot read it, and no data or metadata is recorded on the server.
If you choose to submit a bug report, you may optionally attach an in-app screenshot you can edit, along with basic device/app info. This is only sent if you press the Send button. Camera access is used solely on-device to scan a QR join code. For more detail, see the Privacy Policy.
Availability
WordTrust is an independent project being developed for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Availability and features may change as multiplayer stability, dictionaries, and game modes continue to improve.
