## What is Word Fight | Friends?

Word Fight is the two player game - where players face off to guess the same random five letter word in the least number of moves to win.

Challenge friends to see who can guess the mystery word the fastest. Win your games to improve your rating - and see who comes out as the winner in the ultimate Word Fight!

START A GAME
► Start a fight with a friend or a stranger. Each fight is battled out across multiple rounds - where each player makes a move to guess the word correctly. Each round finishes when both players have made their move. The first player to guess the word correctly wins!

WIN GAMES
► All players start with a rating of 1200 - which goes up every time you win a game. The rating system is based on the Chess Elo system - if you beat a higher rated player, your rating goes up more than if you beat a lower rated player.

SEE THEIR WORDS
► The game has two modes - one where your guesses are hidden, and one where you both see each other's words.

### 3/5 — Good game but got bugs

*2025-03-17, version 1.2.0*

I love this game. Played it a lot but when I got my gf to download it for some reason she wasn’t able to create an account as the usernames she chose kept saying taken after initially saying available! Could be an issue there potentially. Although she is currently in the United States but didn’t think it was an area thing since she could find and download it from App Store

### 5/5 — Hours of fun for me and my husband

*2024-08-03, version 1.2.0*

I never review apps, but my husband and I love Wordle and looked forever to try to find something that we could play against one another that was kind of like Wordle. We downloaded this months ago and have played at least one round against each other daily, but we generally will play several throughout the day! I don’t play with strangers—only my husband! It it’s worth the money!!!

### 3/5 — Too much waiting

*2023-06-30, version 1.2.0*

I like it but I want to get the word fight done in much shorter time than 24 hours and the need to wait around to race the person because you can’t submit your next word guess ahead of time (the biggest flaw) so you know the answer but can’t enter it but then the other person enters two guesses after you get sick of waiting around to be able to take your turn

### 5/5 — Like it

*2023-03-24, version 1.2.0*

It’s like wordle but u battle other people. It’s fun.

### 5/5 — Great simple game

*2022-11-04, version 1.2.0*

Good little brain teaser with friends

### 5/5 — One word: BAZTASTIC!!!!

*2022-11-02, version 1.2.0*

I just LOVE word fight. I’m a REAL word-fighter. It’s so fun to win against my friends. Wooooo wordfight 🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🤩

### 5/5 — Best word game!

*2022-10-27, version 1.2.0*

I love playing word fight with my friends, it’s so fun! And the words are a little harder to figure out than in other games like wordle so it’s way more fun

### 4/5 — Good but doesn’t allow ties

*2022-09-25, version 1.2.0*

Great two player version of wordle but the problem is you sometimes lose just because you are waiting for your opponent to make a move before being allowed to make your guess and then they do two moves in a row whilst you are off doing other things. Winning should purely be based on the number of moves made not the fastest time.

### 5/5 — Amazing app but needs one improvement

*2022-09-25, version 1.2.0*

When you both have the word on the last go but one person wins because they were quicker the other player should be given a chance to draw.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-09-10, version 1.2.0*

Fun game if you love Wordle but want more! I play every day.
