Word Play

Word Play is played like Wordle but with a few differences.

Game Play:

  1. The object of the game is to guess a 5 letter word in four or less guesses.
  2. Two teams will be created, and a captain will be appointed for each team.
  3. At the start of each round, a team will be given the first letter of the word.
  4. The team will then have 4 chances to guess the word.
  5. On each guess, the host will reveal if any letter is in the correct position, as well as letters that are in the word but not in the correct position.
  6. If the team can't guess the word in 4 turns, the other team will have a chance to steal.
  7. Plurals and Proper nouns will not be used as a word.

Points:
1st Guess: 25 points
2nd Guess: 20 points
3rd Guess: 10 points
4th Guess: 5 points
Steal: 5 points

Power-Ups
Each team will have 2 power-ups at the start of the game: vowel volcano and lucky letter.
Vowel Volcano
All the vowels in the word will be revealed including the letter Y.
Lucky Letter
A random letter in the word will be revealed.
Teams can use their power-ups at any given point throughout the game.
Each team can earn more power-ups in 3 different ways.

  1. The team gets a vowel volcano and lucky letter if they solve the word on their first guess.
  2. The team gets a random power-up if they solve the word on their second guess.
  3. If a team solves a word as a steal, they will have a chance to choose whether they want 5 points or a random power-up
