Don’t finish
the word.
A turn-based two player word game. Pick a category, take turns adding a single letter to a growing string — whoever completes a real word loses the round.
Whoever typed that R just lost the round.
Free. No accounts, no sign-up.
How a round works
1
Pick a category
Animals, Plants, Countries — or type your own. 90s bands. Things in this room. Your ex’s red flags.
2
Take turns
One letter each, appended to the end. Nobody is trying to spell anything. The word gets longer and the trap gets tighter.
3
Call it
Think the board already spells something? Tap Settle round instead of playing. Agree, and the round goes to whoever didn’t play the finishing letter. No dictionary settles this — you two do.
4
Eleven rounds
Most rounds won takes the session. Ties don’t happen. Stuck with nothing to play? Concede, keep your dignity, start again clean.

If something went wrong in a game, the join code and the phone you were playing on are enough to chase it down.
