Game Rules

• You must use the QWERTY keyboard below the Game Board to type letters into the grid. The keyboard itself acts as a guide by reflecting the colour-coding (correct, present, absent).
• Each guess must be a valid word. You cannot reuse the same word.
• Each guess must match the number of blocks shown (the word length).
• After each guess, letters are colour-coded to help you.
• Leaderboard & Points System:
  • 1st guess: 100 points
  • 2nd guess: 80 points
  • 3rd guess: 60 points
  • 4th guess: 40 points
  • 5th guess: 20 points
  • If you don’t guess the word, you still earn points — 2 points for each green letter and 1 point for each yellow letter.
• By default, each word to guess will be 5 letters long. In your "Game Settings", you can include 6- or 7-letter words to guess from.
• You can also view your stats at any time. Please note that the 2-player version of MyWord™ does not contribute to stats or the leaderboard.
• The word for each game is randomly selected. You must guess to discover the MyWord™.
• To maintain fair play, you cannot restart or forfeit a game. You must either complete your current game or wait 24 hours before starting a new one.

Two-Player Mode

Two-Player Mode:
1. The challenger sets the secret word when creating the challenge.
2. The player being challenged goes first and tries to guess the word. They will earn points based on their performance.
3. After their turn, the challenged player sets a secret word for the initial challenger.
4. The challenger now tries to beat the score.
5. After both players finish, points are compared to see who wins.
