Racketile is an async multiplayer word board game—crossword-style tile battles that fit your day. Challenge players, jump into Find Match, or practice against bots. Tables hold up to 4 players (Flag Run is 1v1). When you're both in the room, the board stays live. TEN WAYS TO DUEL • Normal — Classic turns, no clock. Play across minutes or days. • Plain — Like Normal—letter values only, no premium squares. • Golf — Same as Normal—lowest score wins. • Timed turns — Per-turn countdown; miss it and you auto-pass. • Blitz — Each player has their own clock; if yours runs out, you're eliminated. • Rush — Place faster for speed bonuses (+10 / +5)—no hard timeout. • Flag Run — Capture their flag or outscore them on Ends or Corners boards, with Rush-style speed bonuses. 1v1. • Scatter — Place words in several spots in one turn, then Submit once. • Fog — Premiums stay hidden under fog until a tile lands on them. • Stack — Stack new tiles on any occupied square; buried letters stay hidden; only the top counts. Blind secondary (Timed / Blitz / Rush / Flag, human vs human): the board and rack stay hidden until you tap Show board—then the clock runs. FEATURES • Challenge linked players or find a match • Practice bots from Rookie to Apex • Push notifications when it's your turn (quiet hours supported) • Sign in with email, Google, or Apple—or try Guest on this device • Crossword-tile board, clear turn flow, built for phones Free to play. No ads. Word duels, your pace.
