Word Trail
Slide, trace, beat the clock.
- 2-12 players
- Social
The whole table gets the same grid of sixteen letters. For 80 seconds, everyone slides a finger from letter to letter, straight or diagonal, without reusing a tile, to make as many words as possible. Rare letters and bonus tiles pay big, and so do long words. Scores update live, but words stay secret until the recap: everyone's words, the ones only you found, and the best ones nobody saw.
