User reviews

Epic game well recommended

Love playing this whenever I smoke

Stay at 4 minutes

Changing the timer makes the app crash until you uninstall

Fun game.

Great game to play with large groups, but is really only fun to play with 5 up players, though nothing that they can do

UI Compatibility Issues

On my IPad 9 when playing with words that are too long they overlap, it would be great if you could add a setting that could adjust the UI size, or just adjust it for certain devices. It was especially bad using the Fortune Teller as on longer phrases the boxes went off the bottom of the screen.

Word font size needs fixing

Generally a great app for the game but has one big issue causing a problem for playability. The font size when viewing the magic word is way too small. We typically use this on a phone, and if sitting further away from the middle of the table, some people struggle to read the word, essentially breaking the gameplay. Why not make the font as large as possible and use the full screen?

FAQ

What does the Werewords app do?

The Werewords app is a companion tool for the physical Werewords board game. It manages the night phase of the game, generates the secret 'Magic Word' that players must guess, and provides timer options to keep the game moving. It also allows for customization of game settings and word lists.

Do I need to buy the Werewords board game to use the app?

Yes, this app requires either the physical Werewords or Werewords Deluxe Edition game to be played. The app itself does not contain the game mechanics or content; it serves as a digital facilitator for the board game experience.

What kind of word lists are available?

The app offers over 40,000 words across four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Ridiculous. It also includes built-in themed wordlists such as Movies, 80s, Music, Literature, Food, TV, Video Games, Monsters, Animals, Hobbies, and Celebrities. You can also create custom word lists and load community word lists from werewords.com.

Can I adjust the game timers?

Yes, the app allows you to adjust the in-game and day phase timers. You can also customize how many words the Mayor may pick from, and whether proper nouns are included or excluded from the word selection.

What are the different ways to win in Werewords?

Players win by correctly guessing the Magic Word before time runs out. If the word is not guessed in time, the players can still win by identifying the werewolf. The werewolf wins if they can identify the Seer after the word is guessed. The app helps manage these win conditions by controlling the game flow and timers.
