Kelimo is the meeting point for word lovers! Arrange letters, build words, and duel your friends online. WHAT IS KELIMO? Kelimo is a modern, clean take on the classic word board game. Build the highest-scoring words from the letters in your rack, outplay your opponent, and grow your vocabulary while you're at it. THREE GAME PACES Play at whatever pace your day allows: • Kelimo — 9×9 board, 6 moves, 3 minutes per move. A match ends in 5-10 minutes. Perfect for short breaks. • Fast — Full 15×15 board, 2 or 5 minutes per move. The classic game, at speed. • Relaxed — 12 or 72 hours per move. No rush; play when it's your turn. BUILT ON THE TDK DICTIONARY Kelimo's dictionary is based on the TDK Contemporary Turkish Dictionary. Invalid words can't be played, and a live preview warns you before you commit your move. Fair and dependable. RANK AND LEAGUE — TWO SEPARATE RACES • Rank: Your lasting skill. Start as Apprentice and climb through Journeyman, Skilled, Expert, Master and Grandmaster all the way to Legend. Your rank rises by playing; it can't be bought. • League: A weekly form race. Four tiers from Bronze to Diamond, reset every week. Finish near the top of your group, get promoted, collect your reward. Every match you play counts toward both — no separate mode to pick. DAILY GOALS Fresh goals every day: win games, land a high-scoring move, play the word of the day. Join in, complete them, claim your reward. WE CARE ABOUT YOUR PEACE OF MIND At Kelimo your comfort matters as much as your fun. Chat is entirely under your control: • Quick Messages Only: Communicate with preset system messages only ("Waiting for your move") — your opponent's free text never reaches you. • Mute Chat: Silence the conversation any time and focus on the game. • Expiring Messages: Have messages delete themselves after 24 hours. • Block: Block anyone who bothers you — no more messages or game invites. • Report: Flag anything inappropriate to moderation with one tap. Nobody can disturb you on Kelimo. You're always in control. KEY FEATURES • Online Duels: Word battles with friends or random opponents. • Rich Turkish Dictionary: Tens of thousands of valid words, current and comprehensive. • Your Turn Notifications: Know the moment it's your move. • Score Multipliers: Play strategically on double/triple letter and word squares; grab the surprise square. • Bingo Bonus: Use all seven tiles in one move for a bonus. • Friends: Search for players, add friends, send invites, play together. • Word Meanings: See what a played word means without leaving the game. • Statistics: Your average score, best moves and win streak on one screen. • Clean, Polished Design: Smooth and distraction-free. WHY KELIMO? Kelimo isn't just a game; it sharpens your vocabulary, keeps your mind active, and brings you closer to your friends. All of it on your terms, without anyone disturbing you. Go on — play your first word and start the duel!
