A beautiful and unoriginal board game! Hop on a call with your friends to show off your vocabulary. Play your moves with real-time feedback. Or do it correspondence style and play at your own pace!
Built to simulate the fun environment of playing with physical board and tiles - no silly ads, look words up for yourself, and argue over them!
Made with Typescript, React, Redux, Express, Socket.io, Express, Node, and Mongodb.
