Sharedle is a word game you play inside your iMessage conversations. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Collab: you and a friend share one board and take turns guessing. Every guess narrows it down for both of you. Competitive: the same word, two boards, first to solve it wins. BUILT FOR THE CHAT Send an invitation straight into the conversation. Your friend taps it and they're in. The card in the thread stays live while you play, so you can both follow along without opening anything, and the result appears there when the game ends. Requires iOS 16.4 or later.
