Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- area control feel — Blocking words and space around them creates tension and space-control dynamics.
- diagonal words unlock — Missing a turn unlocks diagonal word possibilities; players can chain longer words on subsequent turns.
- Elimination — If a player misses two turns, they are out; the last remaining player wins.
- real-time word search — Players search for words in a grid of letters; finding a word slots a token on that word.
- Timed turns — Each player has a 30-second timer (hourglass) per turn in a non-simultaneous real-time flow.
- token blocking — A token placed on a word blocks that word from being used until possible later moves or diagonals open.
