Word Wager

WORD WAGER

A tense, single-player word-deduction game where every clue has a price—and every point you spend goes directly to your opponent.

You and the House each seal a secret word. Purchase clues, study the evidence, manage your purse, and decide when you know enough to risk a guess. Guess incorrectly and the game continues—but the cost may give the House exactly what it needs to beat you.

The House plays by the same rules. It buys clues, investigates your word, and makes guesses of its own. When someone uncovers the correct word, their opponent receives one final chance to answer and force a tie.

Features

• A large ledger of playable words
• Dozens of distinct clue types
• A changing clue market each match
• Strategic point economy: your payments fund your opponent
• Shared clues that help both sides
• One-use exchanges and calculated risks
• An active computer opponent that shops, investigates, and guesses
• Atmospheric case-file presentation
• Original interface sounds and animated reveals
• Fully playable in your browser

Spend too freely and you may solve the word with an empty purse. Spend too cautiously and the House may solve yours first.

Read the evidence. Protect your word. Beat the House.

Controls: The game is played entirely with the mouse and keyboard through the on-screen interface. No download required.
