## What is Texas Hold'em?

Texas Hold'em - Word Edition is a free multiplayer word game where Scrabble meets poker. Get dealt letter tiles instead of cards, build the best word, and bet chips on your vocabulary across 4 betting rounds. Bluff, raise, or fold — just like Texas Hold'em, but with letters.

The best word wins the pot.

HOW TO PLAY
• Get dealt 5 secret letter tiles
• Shared community letters reveal across 4 betting rounds — Preflop, Flop, Turn, River
• Bet chips based on how strong you think your word will be
• Build the highest-scoring word from your hand + the community tiles
• Win the pot, level up, unlock bigger tables

TWO MODES
• Classic — full poker-style betting with bluffing, raising, folding, and reading opponents
• Casual — pure word-building, no betting, fast rounds

FEATURES
• Scrabble-style letter scoring (Q and Z worth 10, common letters worth 1)
• Power Cards — round-wide bonuses that double letters, triple words, and more
• Multiple table tiers — stakes and opponent smarts go up as you level up
• Play solo against 4 AI bots with distinct personalities
• Private multiplayer rooms — create a room code and play with friends
• Daily Challenge — compete for the best score every day
• Bonus points for using all shared letters or building poker-hand letter patterns
• Clean, free-to-play design with no mandatory ads

COINS & PURCHASES
Coins are a virtual in-app currency used to enter higher-stakes tables. Coins have no cash value, cannot be redeemed, transferred, or exchanged for real money or goods. All purchases are processed by the App Store.

WHO IT'S FOR
Word-game fans who want more strategy. Poker fans who want to flex their vocabulary. Anyone who's ever yelled "that's not a word!" at a Scrabble board. Zero poker experience required — the tutorial walks you through everything.

Play Texas Hold'em - Word Edition free, anywhere, anytime.
