Chain
Open SourceA real-time 2-player word dueling game where players pick letters, form word chains, and race against a timer.
About
Chain Letters is a real-time 2-player word dueling game. Each round, both players secretly pick a letter - one becomes the Start letter, the other the End letter.
Players then take turns submitting words that must begin with the Start letter and end with the End letter, building a chain under the pressure of a countdown timer.
Run out of time, submit an invalid word, and your opponent wins the round. Win the most rounds to take the match - best of 1, 3, or 5, host's choice.
