WordShip
Wordle meets Battleship. You don't just guess words — you hide them.
WordShip is a real-time multiplayer word puzzle where two players become both puzzle-creator AND puzzle-solver. Place words on your grid for your opponent to hunt. Hunt for theirs. First to find all words wins.
How It Works
1. Place Your Words
You get 5 words to hide on a 10×10 grid. Choose obscure vocabulary. Position them cleverly. Overlap letters strategically. Your opponent will be hunting these — make it hard.
2. Hunt Their Words
Take turns guessing coordinates and letters. Each guess reveals clues:
| Result |
Meaning |
| Gray |
Miss — nothing here |
| Yellow |
Hit! A letter exists here, but which word? |
| Green |
Confirmed letter in a specific word |
| Blue |
Word discovered! |
3. Win
First player to uncover all 5 opponent words wins. Games take 5-10 minutes.
