WordDelve

A word-guessing roguelike

Solve a five-letter word in six tries, then spin the wheel. Every word takes you one depth deeper, and every spin adds a boon or a curse that stays for the rest of your run. How deep can you delve?

Boons and curses that stack

Extra guesses, revealed letters, time freezes. Fog, Mirror, broken keys, a shrinking clock. They pile up as you descend, so no two runs play the same.

Guardians every fifth depth

A Guardian bends the rules for one round: a longer word, no yellow hints, half the time or fewer rows. Beat it for a boons-only spin.

Gems and Camp

Earn gems for every word, unused row and minute to spare. Spend them at Camp between depths on hints, Mulligans, Second Spins and rarer finds.
