Word Rush is a fast letter-constraint word game. In team mode, each team gets a timed run to name as many dictionary-valid words as possible that start and end with the given letters — Monkey ✅, then instantly on to the next pair. In individual mode, everyone answers the same prompt each round and scores on the leaderboard. Choose automatic prompts from the system or manual mode where players pick the letters.

Game rules & how to play

Objective

  • Name valid English words that start with one letter and end with another.
  • Team mode: most words in your timed run wins. Individual mode: most correct answers across rounds wins.

Team mode

  • Each team gets one timed run (default 2 minutes). Everyone on the active team can type answers.
  • The first correct answer scores and the next letter pair appears immediately.
  • Automatic mode generates prompts; manual mode lets a teammate enter the next pair while the timer runs.

Individual mode

  • Each round shows one letter pair. Guessers get one answer — fastest correct answers score the most points (10 base + up to 40 speed bonus, like Text Charades).
  • A rotating round host sits out each round. In manual mode they enter the letters; in automatic mode letters are random. They earn mirror points — the sum of every correct guesser’s points that round.
  • When everyone has answered, the round ends immediately. Otherwise the timer ends the round.

Valid words

  • Answers must be real dictionary words (3+ letters), matching both the start and end letter.
  • Only the first correct answer counts in team rush mode when multiple teammates answer at once.
