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.
