A party game for your phone
Wordle is a puzzle you solve alone. Fordle turns it into a live race — everyone in the room guesses the same secret word at the same time, and first to crack it wins.
The name's a mashup: Friends and Families, playing Wordle together.
No app to install — just open this page on your phone and play.
Everyone gets the same word. One secret word, one round, every player racing to solve it on their own phone.
Guess live, see it live. Your friends' boards update in real time — watch who's close and who's stuck.
First correct guess wins the round. Quick rounds, then play again — winner's crowned before anyone gets bored.
Green = right letter, right spot. Yellow = right letter, wrong spot. Gray = not in the word.
Optional power-ups the host can turn on — use them once a round to slow down whoever's about to beat you.
Lock an opponent's keyboard for 10 seconds.
Shuffle an opponent's own keyboard letters for 10 seconds.
Turn invisible and dodge every attack for 10 seconds.
Hold a key for 4 seconds to lock that letter for everyone else for 20 seconds.
No shared controller, no passing a device around — each player plays on their own screen.
Just a browser. Share a link or a room code and you're in.
Put the Big Screen display up on a TV so everyone can watch the race unfold live, even if they're not playing.
Optional hints even the odds so a 10-year-old and a grandparent can play the same round and both have a shot.
Grab your phones. One person hosts, everyone else joins with a code — and put the Big Screen display up on a TV if you've got one handy.
Fordle runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, no accounts.
