Worjong

Worjong is a competitive word game for up to four players. On each turn, you draw a tile and discard one, aiming to arrange 12 letters into four three-letter words. Discards are visible to everyone, and a rival can use one to complete their words; you then pay for that rival’s score.

Score with words

Points come from scoring conditions, including making your four words into a grammatical sentence, such as YOU ARE BIG NOW, or using no vowels, as in SKY, FLY, GYM and CRY. Rarer combinations score more, and bonus letters add to your points. You can keep a finished word or break it apart to pursue a higher score.

When a player scores, only that player starts again from scratch. Everyone else keeps their words in progress and can respond right away. A new bonus letter is chosen, giving you the option to continue with your current words or rebuild around it.

Game modes

Solo Battle lets you play against the CPU, while online battles match you with friends or other players. Online multiplayer supports 1–4 players, and you can play with anyone by sharing a room code. Hints show which letters to discard, and you can collect the words, grammar patterns and scoring conditions you have scored with, with the goal of reaching 100%.

In the single-player Story Mode, you have seven days to take Tanuki Village back from the humans and collect the land deeds. You learn tanuki jutsu and can cheat by setting off explosions or stopping time. The story is by KEN, who also created the illustrations and music; the voice cast includes Monyai and Asumi Kana.
