Remote multiplayer desktop web game
Using Google Chrome on a desktop, go to wednesday-words.herokuapp.com.
To just see how gameplay is, try the single player demo! Shuffle your rack tiles, drag and drop tiles onto and across the board, assign a blank tile a letter, undo tile moves to remove last dropped tiles from the board and return them to your rack, and end your turn by playing your word.
Start a multiplayer game with your name and select the total number of players (2 to 4). A code for your game will be generated. Share the game code with your friends to join. Your game will start when all players have joined :-)
Join a game that a friend started by entering your name and the game code.
