Wordcaster
Two wizards duel across a candlelit library, one in teal and one in crimson, hurling streams of glowing tiles that collide in a burst of light between them.

The Athenaeum of Hush · after hours

Duel with words.

In the Athenaeum, wizards settle arguments the civilized way: by spelling at each other. Draw your tiles, build a word, cast it. Longer words hit harder. Rare letters burn.

A quick duel

Tap tiles (or type) to spell a word of 3+ letters, then Cast. Damage is the sum of the letters plus a length bonus; a gilded tile counts double. First to zero ink loses.

Grimbald the Grammarian at his desk: an owl-faced wizard with round spectacles and wild white eyebrows, holding a glowing quill, a gold medallion on his chest and one taloned hand on a leather book.

Meet your rivals

The full game is a ladder of word-duelists, each with a style. Grimbald plays long and slow. Pip the Punster only plays words that sound like other words. The Sisters Vowel never play a consonant if they can help it.
