About WordsMate
WordsMate is a two-player word guessing game: one of you gives one-word hints, the other tries to find the secret word in as few clues as possible. Games are asynchronous—you play your turn when you have a moment, your friend plays theirs later. No need to be online at the same time. THE IDEA You and a partner take two roles: the hinter gives a single-word hint; the guesser tries to find the word. Goal: find the word in as few hints as possible. You then switch roles (by word or by game, depending on the mode). One word at a time, no spaces, no sentences—just one hint per turn. ASYNC & FLEXIBLE Each game is turn-based and asynchronous. When it’s your turn, you get a notification—open the app, give your hint or your guess, and close it. Your friend does the same when they’re free. No scheduling, no pressure to be online together. Perfect for quick rounds between tasks or longer sessions when you both have time. THREE MODES PingPong – You each give hints for 3 words then switch to guessing. First to 6 words found wins. Bowling – 5 words with a limited hint budget. You decide how many hints to allocate per word before you start. Darts – Chain as many words as you can with a shared number of hints. How long can you keep the streak? JOKERS Use credits to unlock jokers: first letter, extra hint, change the word, or extra guess. They add strategy without replacing the core challenge: fewer hints, smarter play. FRIENDS & RANKINGS Invite friends (contacts or WhatsApp), see who’s available, start a game in one tap. Climb the leaderboards and compare who finds words in the fewest hints. WHY WORDSMATE? WordsMate is built around one idea: two players, one word, as few hints as possible—and you can play whenever you want. Clear rules, no need to be online at the same time, just you and a friend taking turns to give clues and guess words. Download WordsMate and start guessing—in as few hints as possible.
