Hot & Cold vs Glomp

Hot & Cold is a word game where meaning beats spelling. Type any word. The game tells you how close your guess is to the secret — from freezing all the way to blazing. Keep refining until you nail it. It's like Wordle, but instead of matching letters you're zeroing in on meaning. "dog" is hotter than "fence" when the answer is "puppy." Follow the heat, pivot when you cool down, and solve the word. DAILY PUZZLE One new secret every UTC day — everyone plays the same word. Build a streak, then share your result (no spoilers). ENDLESS PRACTICE Unlimited rounds with random words. Great between dailies or when you want to keep playing. Optional timer and hint settings per round. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Share a link and everyone in the room plays the same secret. Play together when you are all around, or join a round already in progress — no one has to be online at the same time. Rounds stack into F1-style points across a series, so a room keeps going as long as you want. Chat in the room while you play, with a spoiler-safe channel that only unlocks once you've finished. TEAM MODE Split the room into 2–4 teams and share one board. Your teammates' guesses and hints appear on your screen as they land, so you build on each other's thinking instead of racing. Any teammate finding the word wins the round for the whole team. PLAY A BOT Offline rounds against a local bot for practice runs. HEAT ASCENSION A roguelike climb, on mobile. Nine floors of rarer and rarer secret words against one HP bank: chart your route between floors, draft modifier cards that bend the rules, and face a boss at the rim. Summiting unlocks a harder tier, so the climb keeps climbing. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type any word. 2. See its rank against the full word list. #1 is the secret (hottest). Bigger numbers mean colder. 3. Your heat meter moves as you get closer. Follow the gradient. 4. Type the actual secret word to win.

Opponents never see the secret or the words you guess — rooms relay only display names and heat scores, so nobody's progress can spoil the answer for you. Teammates are the deliberate exception: team mode exists to share a board, so your teammates do see your guesses. Room chat stays inside its room.

Every day, everyone in the world gets five minutes and the same twenty letters. How many words can you form? And maybe more importantly: just how good are those words? Glomp is a daily word game with a pulse and a personality. Twenty letters drift onto your screen as physical objects with different sizes and real weight, tumbling and clustering around a creature in the middle. That creature — it's Glomp. It's hungry. And it absolutely will tell you what it thinks. FEED IT Tap four letters or more and submit. Glomp swallows real words. Longer words with rarer letters earn more points. THE LETTERS DON'T SIT STILL There's no grid and no cute little tiles — every letter is a physics object that drifts, bumps and clumps. Tilt your phone and the whole board leans with you. A word only counts if its letters are actually touching Glomp, or chained to one that is. So a nine-letter word isn't just a vocabulary flex — it's getting nine circles into a line while they wander. Can you do it? GRADED ON WHAT'S ACTUALLY THERE Words are checked against Princeton's WordNet, so plurals and irregular forms land the way they should. THE SAME TWENTY, ALL DAY Each day's pool is fixed, hand-checked, and identical for every player on the planet. Play a word and its letters come straight back. You never run out of letters — just words. Each word counts once, so the easy ones go early and the hunt tightens as you go. IT TALKS BACK Glomp is not a silent partner — it's audibly delighted when you turn up something good. (You can silence it if it interrupts your flow.) Underneath, the music's tempo climbs as time runs short.
