Stolen Words – Word Duel

Stolen Words (Mots Volés in French) is a word game played in duels, in English or in French, where every word you lay can steal your opponent's letters. A 9 × 9 board, a rack of 6 letters that both players share, and one goal: be the first to 25 points. Lay a word, and every letter in it turns to your colour, even those your opponent laid. You score 1 point per letter you gain; they lose as many. DUELS, TURN BY TURN Tap "Play": you take up another player's challenge, or open your own by laying your first word. Everyone plays at their own pace, within a time counted for each move and over the whole match, and a notification tells you when it is your turn. When nobody takes up your challenge, one of the game's three bots does — Lulu, Marius or Ravenne, and they are not equally good. • Win: +3 points • Draw: +1 point • Loss: −1 point A LEADERBOARD EVERY MONTH Each month opens a new season and everyone starts again from zero. Aim for the Top 20 or follow your rank in "My zone". Past seasons' leaderboards stay available. THE GAME • The first word goes through the centre; the next ones touch a letter already on the board, in a row or a column, with no gap. • The main word and every crossing word must be in the dictionary of the match, English or French. In French, accents do not count: ETE stands for "été". • Both players draw from the same rack of 6 letters: what you leave, your opponent can play. • A letter laid on a star gives you a star. Lay a letter in a corner: your stars become as many points and the board is cleared. • "Pass" gives the turn away; when both players pass in a row, the 6 letters are renewed. • The first to 25 points wins. At the 80th move, the highest score wins. • A hint shows you a valid move, not necessarily the best one: you lay the letters yourself. • Tap a letter on the board, at any time: the definition of every word it forms shows up. YOUR STATISTICS Games won, letters stolen, whirlwinds set off, best score, days played in a row: it is all there. FREE AND AD-FREE No ads, ever.
