Wordtrak is a 1v1 word-building duel game. Three to five traks are dealt per game. Each trak is a row of scored slots with letter and word multipliers. Every turn, both players pick a trak privately (not in order!), build a word, and reveal at the same time. Highest score takes that trak. Win the majority of traks to win the game! Each trak is its own independent contest- play every trak exactly once. Save your best letters for the tightest rows, or blow them out early and pressure your opponent. Words can only be played once per game...no repeats!
