Every word changes the board. Rettel is a free 2-player word game. Connect letters on a 4×4 grid to make a word, and when you submit it, the letters reverse in place. (Sounds like how we got our name!) Plan carefully: the board you leave could set up your opponent's next move. HOW A MATCH WORKS Each player gets 6 rounds, then the higher score wins. Words of 5–7 letters score ×2, and 8 or more score ×3. PLAY Keep a few games going and take your turn whenever you like. Challenge a friend or get matched with a random opponent. FRIENDS Add friends with a code or an invite link, then challenge them directly. RETTEL BOT Take on Rettel Bot at Easy, Medium or Hard. Bot games have no ads. DAILY GAMES Rettel Search: 5 attempts to find today's word. Rettel Ops: Reach the target number using all four operations. Zenttel: Rettel on your own, with random letters and no stats. No streaks to protect. PROFILE Track your wins, best words and top scores. Pick an emoji avatar and a display name.
