About
Word Lock is a real-time 2-player word territory game where players compete on a shared 5×5 letter grid. Take turns spelling words to claim tiles, flip your opponent's letters, and dominate the board.
Every tile you use in a valid word becomes yours. Tiles your opponent owned flip to your colour. A tile surrounded on all sides by your own tiles is locked - your opponent can no longer steal it.
The game ends when every tile is claimed. Whoever owns the most tiles wins. Turns expire after 24 hours, keeping the game moving.
