The Story Behind MyWord™

Welcome to MyWord, the word-guessing game built for players who love a challenge, enjoy clever twists, and aren’t afraid to say “Oh MyWord!” when the answer finally clicks.

MyWord began with a simple idea: word games are fun — but they can be even better. I wanted to create a game that kept the addictive charm of classic word-guessing puzzles while introducing new features that make every round feel fresh, competitive, and a little surprising.

Why MyWord?

The name MyWord does more than just sound catchy — it means something.

  • When someone says “Oh MyWord!” it’s usually with a sense of shock, excitement, or disbelief — exactly the reactions players have while playing.
  • The “O” in MyWord was designed as a fun wow/shocked emoji, capturing the expression players make during those dramatic moments of victory or suspense.
  • And of course… Can you guess MyWord? The name itself becomes part of the gameplay, inspiring playful puns throughout the experience.

A Fresh Take on a Classic

Most word games stick to the traditional 5-letter format — but MyWord breaks from the mold. I wanted players to have more freedom, more challenge, and more variety. That’s why MyWord lets you play with:

  • 5-letter words (the classic)
  • 6-letter words
  • 7-letter words

The goal was simple: keep the game familiar, but open the door to more creativity and difficulty for players who want it.

A Scoring System Designed for Fun

When creating MyWord, I wanted the experience to feel rewarding even if you didn’t guess the word immediately. That led to the invention of the MyWord Scoring System, where every guess matters and every letter can make a difference.

Players earn points based on how quickly they solve the word — and even if they don’t solve it, the green and yellow letters still reward progress. This scoring idea didn’t just make solo play more exciting; it opened the door to something even bigger…

The Birth of 2-Player Mode

The scoring system made it possible to take MyWord beyond solo play and into what players love most: friendly competition.

On MyWord, you can:

  • Challenge your friends
  • Set your own secret word
  • Try to outscore one another in a back-and-forth battle of skill, strategy, and vocabulary

The challenger sets a word, the opponent goes first, and then the roles switch — making every match fair, strategic, and full of suspense.

This isn’t just a word puzzle anymore. It’s a game night favorite, a competitive duel, and a bragging-rights generator all in one.
