a word game to play with friends, without the faff

multiplayer word games usually start with the boring part. you make an account, send an invite, then sit in a lobby waiting for someone to load. wordhoard's friend challenges skip that. one phone deals a board and shows a QR code, and the code is the game: letters, clock and mix included.

joining: one scan, and you have their board

any number of phones

every phone that scans the code deals the same letters on its own. two players or twelve makes no difference, because there are no seats to fill. count down together, play the same 30 seconds, then compare scores across the table.

no accounts, nothing to join

nobody signs up for anything, because wordhoard has no accounts at all. the game never touches a server, which is also why it still works on a plane or in a cabin with no reception.

the rules of a round are at challenge friends. the rest of the game, meaning the daily board, open play and the scoreboard, is at about wordhoard.
