About Wordio Rush
Wordio Rush is a one-on-one word duel by Josh Marthaller. Both players receive the same seven letter tiles, each with a point value, and have 30 seconds to make the best word they can. A word needs at least two letters. Tap or type to place tiles, tap a placed tile to take it back, drag to rearrange, and use Shuffle or Clear when you are stuck. Press Play word to lock it in.
A match lasts five rounds and the higher total wins. The first round is an even start, and later rounds add bonus squares, such as a triple word score, that change which word is worth the most. You can play as a guest by choosing a player name, against another player or a computer opponent at five levels from Beginner to Expert. Challenge a friend creates a link for a private match. A daily board shows the top scores and resets at midnight UTC, and signing in is only needed to keep your stats.
