How to play WordJab

WordJab is a free multiplayer word battle game โ€” part hangman, part knockout round. Every player hides a secret word, then you take turns throwing letters at each other's boards. Guess right and you keep jabbing; crack someone's whole word and they're out.

  1. Host a game and share the 4-letter code, or gather around one screen with pass-and-play.
  2. Pick your secret word โ€” a real word or phrase up to the character limit. Nobody else can see it.
  3. Take turns jabbing. Pick an opponent, throw a letter. A hit reveals every matching tile (blanks come one at a time) and you jab again; a miss passes the turn.
  4. Win the fight. In Last Standing, survive with your word uncracked. In Points mode, score for every hit and cracked board.

Too busy for a full bout? The Daily Jab gives you one word and six jabs every day โ€” keep your streak alive and share your result.
