01Join a private room with up to ten players, including the host. New players must join before the game starts; existing players can reconnect. The host sets rounds, reading time, writing time and the Super TAG range.
02Read the shared story first. The three letters appear after reading time. Enter a word or phrase in each field, starting with its assigned letter. Any language or mix is allowed; agree on a language the group understands.
03Submit all three valid fields before time runs out. Submitted answers are locked. No submission means you automatically sit out answering, but you still vote.
04Read the anonymous entries, choose another player’s answer and confirm. No self-voting. There is no voting timer or host skip: results wait for every player.
05Most votes win the round: 3 points. The first valid submission gets 1 bonus point. Super TAG uses T–A–G and doubles both awards. Tied winners each get the win points. Submission order on the server decides the speed bonus.
06With fewer than two entries, voting is skipped: no win points, only the speed bonus if there is an entry. With no entries, no points are awarded. The highest final total wins; equal totals share the win.
07Opening rules or changing menu language does not pause the clock. If your connection drops, return on the same phone and browser to rejoin. The group waits for missing voters; reconnect to continue. Rooms expire 24 hours after creation.
With exactly two people, a bot joins as a third player. Each new game gets a changing name marked BOT. Entries stay anonymous during voting. The bot uses prepared replies written for the specific story in the agreed answer language, or the story language for mixed answers. It votes on human entries using fixed criteria for word variety, repetition and story words. It is not an AI model or an objective judge of humour. Only humans earn the speed bonus; the bot can earn win points. In two-player games, the letters and a prepared story-specific reply are selected together. Field lengths vary between single words and phrases. Super TAG always uses T–A–G.
The host can press Stop game at any time. The game ends for everyone and all players return to the main menu when their connection receives the stop. No points are awarded for the unfinished round. A stopped room cannot be reused. Use Main menu to leave your room at any time. Other players can continue; your pending entry and vote are removed from an unfinished round. The host’s Stop game ends the room for everyone. After the last round, every player can open Final scores.
