One letter can change everything.
Enter the candlelit library of GhostTears, a word game of vocabulary, bluffing and quick thinking. Take turns adding letters to a growing word fragment—but avoid being the player who completes a word!
Can you keep a real word going, or convince your rivals that you have one in mind?
HOW TO PLAY
• Add one letter on your turn.
• Keep the fragment on a path toward a valid English word.
• Avoid completing a word that meets the match’s minimum word length.
• Think someone is bluffing? Challenge them to prove a valid word.
• Mistakes and failed challenges earn tears. Stay in the game and outlast your opponents!
For example, with a minimum word length of four, players might build T → TR → TRE. Adding E completes TREE, so that player loses the round.
