There’s a hidden word, shown as blanks. Guess it one letter at a time: tap a key or type on your keyboard.
- A right letter fills in every place it appears.
- A wrong letter snaps another rubber band round your watermelon. It gets squeezed, nervous, then cracks.
- Your melon survives a set number of bands (6 unless the room changes it). One more and it bursts, and that word scores nothing.
Points
Solving a word is worth 10, plus 1 for every band you had to spare. In a race, the first three to solve also get 3, 2 and 1 extra.
Race
The computer picks a word and everyone guesses it at the same time, each on their own melon. You can see how the others are doing (how many letters, how many bands) but not their letters.
Pick words
Two sides, 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2. Each round, each side picks a secret word for the other side (in teams, teammates take turns picking). Then everyone guesses the other side’s word on their own melon, and gets to watch the other side struggle with theirs. Team points add up.
Words must be real English words of 4 to 12 letters. Stuck for one? Press Suggest one.
On your own
- Daily word: the same everyday word for everyone today (a new one at midnight UTC). One go, then share your result and see the leaderboard. Ranked by: solved first, then fewest wrong letters, then fastest time.
- Practice: word after word, as long as you like. Keep your streak going.
