# Worduel Room Codes: Join One Shared Board on Two Phones Set up a Worduel friend room, join from a second phone, and follow the shared clues, turn rules and rematch details A practical guide to creating and joining a Worduel friend room from separate phones, reading the shared board and understanding what carries over to a rematch ## Join the same room from two phones To play Worduel with someone on a separate phone, one player creates a friend room and shares its four-letter code or link. The other player uses that invitation to join. You then take alternating turns on one shared board, trying to solve the same secret word. It is not a pair of separate puzzles or two private scores: each guess becomes a clue for both players Set up the room and join Create a friend room Choose friend play and set up a room. Worduel provides a four-letter code or a link to share Send the invitation Pass the code or link to the other player so they can join from their phone. There is no in-game chat, so arrange how you will share it before starting Play on the shared board Take turns submitting guesses. Read the existing clues before making your guess, since the previous player’s feedback is visible to both of you ## What both players see A friend room has one secret word and one board for the match. Green means a letter is in the right place, yellow means it belongs in the answer but somewhere else, and grey means there is no unused copy of that letter in the answer. The board keeps the clues from earlier turns available to the next player Example of clues on one shared board crank light arose snake brand crane For crank: light is all grey; arose has R green and A yellow; snake has A green, with N and K yellow; brand has R, A and N green, with the other letters grey; crane has C, R, A and N green, with E grey For instance, after arose, the next player can see that R is already in the correct second position, while A belongs in the word but not its first position. That information applies to the shared answer, regardless of which player made the guess. Use the board as a running record, not just as a report on your own turn Room details worth knowing Both players work toward the same secret word Turns alternate on the shared board Each turn has a 45-second timer Three skips are allowed; a fourth skip loses the game The first player to solve the word wins ## Keep the handoff clear Because players use separate devices, it helps to agree on who is taking the next turn and make sure you have both joined the intended room. The game itself has no chat, so do not rely on an in-game message to pass the code or coordinate before play. Once a guess is on the board, the next player can use its green, yellow and grey feedback directly Friend room or ranked duel? Friend room Play against the person you invite using a room code or link. The match uses a shared board, and friend games do not change Elo Ranked duel A ranked duel uses a rating-aware solver BOT, not a random real opponent. Choose a friend room when you want to play against someone you invited ## What happens after the match Friend games keep series scores, and the first player alternates on rematches. If you play another game, the player who started the previous one gives up the first turn to the other player. The match does not affect Elo, so you can continue the friendly series without changing that rating Before you invite someone Share the four-letter code or link outside the game, then use the shared board to keep track of clues and whose turn comes next What does a yellow tile tell you on the shared board? The letter is in the answer but belongs in a different position The letter is in the correct position There is no unused copy of the letter in the answer The letter is in the correct position Option 1 is correct: yellow means the letter belongs in the answer, but not in the position where it was guessed Friend room questions Does each phone get a different secret word?
